I just found an awesome dresser by this company in the trash. It really looks awesome in my living room. .

I am the proud owner of several pieces of this amazing line of furniture. They are a statement in every room they are placed!
For me, the thrill is to have pieces of art that work as furniture.
Do not be shy, go to estate sales, stop by local thrift shops, collect this treasures!
My greatest achivment: To keep 2 dining sets (both styles) in a house of 1000 sq ft, without getting divorced…

To Mad Sarah – We are so sorry to hear of the condition of your Brasilia. We specialize in the purchase and sale of this beautiful furniture. It is exceptionally well made and will last several generations if cared for in a reasonable manner. From what you describe, it has been terribly abused. Veneer is almost impossible to repair and reflects abuse and neglect. We have bought and sold 100’s of pieces and rarely find any issues with the veneer. When we do it is heavily discounted or used for parts. The table movement is likely caused by the bolts not being tight. Contact us through our web site and we will try to help you with the furniture. If beyond help we can replace some of the pieces for you. It is highly unusual to hear of the condition that you purchased. The story above refers to our web site. Art and Bonnie

I have a six-piece dining set of Brasilia that I bought on eBay (and sadly, paid much more than the other posters here). I love, love, love the look of the credenza, as well as the dining chairs, but none of it is very sturdy and it has taken a beating over the years that I don’t know if I can repair. Mostly, the veneer on the top of the credenza and the sides of several chairs is chipped and smushed (some of this happened in shipping the set to me). And the table is super-wiggly and loud when people are eating or typing on a laptop…

how about that…I found a china cabinet not too long ago in a thrift store:

I don’t remember the hutch part as being too remarkable, but it did have some neat pulls on the doors:

these are all cell phone pics, so not the best quality. But something more for your archive!
