Stickley Furniture Still Alive

[John Morris]

I came upon a desk and file cabinet for sale online, used, and it stated it was Stickley. It looked very newish, and I was suspicious of the claim, the inside drawer was burned with the word "Stickley" with a nice logo tag nailed to the inside drawer as well.

They wanted 4000.00 for the set, it was beautiful and made very well and with solid American hardwood. I said to myself, this can't be, it's gotta be a fake. Well is wasn't, well it wasn't in the sense that there still is a "Stickley" furniture business open and alive.

 

The furniture is beautiful and high quality, you won't find any prices on their furnishings, you know the old saying, if you have to ask then, well you know the rest.

From what I could tell, the quality is very good, excellent, I think the Stickley brothers would be proud.

Here is the set I found online for sale. My mistake, it's selling for 2500 which is an excellent price for the quality to be had by the general consumer looking for high quality furnishings.

They used to give factory tours, though I could find no mention of it on the web site.  James & I took the tour several years back and they allowed us to load up with all of the offcuts and end pieces of scrap we could carry.  Walnut and QS oak.  No large pieces, but James was turning pens back then and got quite a bunch.

That is really cool Cal, I guess I been living under a rock, I thought the business was completely gone, another page in our crafts history book! I'm very happy to see it still alive, and creating fine quality furnishings like they are.

We toured the Parsippany NY Museum site about 18 years ago. Didn't know the factory was still in operation. Would've liked to tour it, too.
