I love perusing second hand furniture, I love the quality and the patina it has on select pieces I'll see, and I came across this Ethan Allen Made in the USA Solid Maple China Cabinet. As far as production furniture goes, this is a really nice example I believe. I love the color, the style, it has clean lines, I love the imitated old glass, and if you look close enough there is even some curl in places. The price, 850.00 on Craigslist, this is the furniture that I wish younger folks would look out for, or even older folks who are more prone to going to the more conventional furniture sales stores. Because for this price, the quality you'll find at the conventional stores is not even a quarter of the quality this piece is. I don't want to start a topic bashing the IKEA's of the world, or the Levitz and Ashley's, because they have a place, I remember when I was younger, and my wife and I were just starting out on a single man income and barely above min wage, the IKEA's helped us out a lot, not that we had an IKEA at that time, but you know what I mean. Back to my rambling, this is just a wonderful example of what folks could find if they get a little creative with their home decor, and try not to perfectly match everything in the house, I love a home where nothing really matches, eclecticism is wonderful in a home, where nothing matches, but they all appear to be in harmony. This Ethan Allen China set, would go lovely with a Danish Modern dining set, or a Mission style dining set, or?
