Oh my! I knew a family who had this furniture when I was a kid!
How unusual – they look quite comfy!
i have this furniture from my father. i love it! i am 25 yrs old livng in the 70′s lol
i have wanted the “barrel furniture” ever since i saw it in a j c penney store when i was 11 yrs. old. we couln’t get it because my mother said it would be a “sin” to have that in our house,because whiskey had been in the barrels you know. and as you can guess i grew up in a house not a home. anyway if there happens to be someone out there who has a set such as this plz make contact.
regards,Earl
hi @earl, create a google search for craigslist for these items – you’ll find a set. where are you based? we can watch for you, too.
Earl, we have the couch, two swivel chairs, end table, lamp, ottaman, and a large coffee table that I want to get rid off. We live in the St. Louis area, let me know if you are interested.
Mary – no buying/selling on the main blog. You may list this on our Forum, though. Good luck. (Forum is at top of page, right.)
Earl, I happen to have a round table and 4 chairs. I don’t remember seeing them anywhere, but I was immediately drawn to them. The chairs are very comfortable.
I have the same set in my parents bament and they want to sell it.
It is located in Illinois.
Mike, no buying or selling on the main blog – but you can list your items over on the Retro Renovation Forum for steel kitchen cabinets and other items. Good luck – I love barrel furniture!
wow….. we had a set growing up here in st.louis county.. i still have 3 tall swivel barstools from the set in my den….. thanks for the memory
I have a set -n my basement. A table, four chairs, sofa, two end tables, bar, three stools and a bar lamp. Purchased from JC Penny in 1969 0r 1970.
I think this is the same set I sat in at the Scott Antique Show here in Columbus last month. Its really a lot kooler in person but its definitely a gaming table – the chairs aren’t exactly what you’d sit in to watch a movie! Lol Being barrels, they ARE perfectly straight up and down!
A friend gave me the couch 2 swivel chairs and another chair and ottoman, they are cool as hell, but very uncomfortable, will be posting mine on craigslist soon
Wonder how much shipping would be to west virginia.Would you let me know.Yes I am Interested.
this was a craigslist listing – very old….
We have a whole set in Maryland we may be interested in selling
Hi Jen T, if you could take it over to our buy/sell Forum, that would be great: http://retrorenovation.com/forum/ good luck
Jen T
did you sell it yet?
No it is not sold
What’s the condition? and how can I get a hold of you?
Hey, you barrel folk: Can you please take this over to the Forum: http://retrorenovation.com/forums … All buying/selling should go on there. I will be deleting all these shortly, but will give you time to move there….
Hi
I have a set posted on Craigslist right today. The couch is in need or repair, and I only have 11 pieces. I would be willing to crate it up on pallets and ship it, if anyone is intrested.
