Looking for Broyhill Brasilia to call my own, reasonable prices. If anyone is willing to sell off some of what they’ve got, please give me a holler. I’ll use PayPal to purchase and figure out shipping on my own. My dream pieces are the buffet/bar with fold-out top and the buffet with hutch that has glass only in the upper left hand corner.

Hi, I am so happy with my Broyhill Brasilia china cabinet I just bought yesterday at a thrift store for $30.!. Didn’t know what it was till I got it home and looked it up on the internet, just knew I liked it! Thanks for providing this site and educating me!

Holy Cow, I just scored a Brasilia queen headboard (and full footboard…anybody need to trade?) for $75! And Pam, I’ll be sending you some pics of the furnished rooms soon, or I’ll just put them on a flickr account. When it rains, it pours!

My girlfriend Riina picked up a Nine drawer dresser just like the one pictured above at the Salvation Army thrift store downtown St. Louis a few weeks ago ($35!!!). That’s all it took. I am now obsessed with the Brasilia line.

I’m headed out to the far reaches of the county to lay claim to a 9 piece dining room set tomorrow. Big table with 3 leaves, 6 chairs, buffet, large china cabinet. This is going in her new place as it is a 60’s home and mine is a 50’s. If I get it I will finally be able to take my Russel Wright Conant Ball dining table home!

We picked up a set of dressers off of Craigslist for the baby’s room last year. They are in really good shape and only cost us a $125. We love them.

Yowza, if you are out and about and get some pics for the blog, that would be great, Christopher! I am starting new pages on readers’ favorite furniture lines based on all the Brasilia excitement!

There is an 8 pc. dining room set available at a St. Louis shop called TFA (the future antiques) for $849. They will likely ship anywhere. http://stlouis.craigslist.org/fud/966921099.html

I just found/fell in love w/ this line. I got a dining table and 4 chairs for $400 on craigslist and a buffet off CL for $150- The chairs need some refinishing/restoring but I think a little Watco Danish Walnut oil will do the job!
