Anyone have suggestions for where to look for mid-range furniture? Stuff made of real wood, not particle board, but not hugely expensive. I've tried IKEA, West Elm, Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn, Sears, Macy's, JC Penney, and Bed Bath & Beyond, and most of them had something similar to what I wanted, but not quite right. Any other places I should look?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

There's something very funny about the idea of an amish carpenter having a website...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Isn't that how he celebrated Mother's Day, too?
Good point. I'm going to tell him that he needs to come up with some new material.

Sigh. Absolutely, exactly, perfectly the table that I want: [link] For $650 plus shipping from California. I can maybe pay as much as $300 or so for something that's perfect, but $650 is just way too much.

Hil, try Gothic Cabinet Craft - I don't know how much they charge for shipping outside NYC, but that's where my kitchen table is from.

Not literally, I hope.

Thanks, Jess. I took a look, and they don't have quite what I'm looking for.
I've got a bit of free time on Thursday. Maybe I'll take a look at some furniture stores and antique stores then. I really should stop looking now, though, because my ankle is hurting and it's just making me annoyed at everything.

Hil, is the important factor style or size?

Ah, the eternal question...

Well, I'm looking for a drop-leaf table that folds up small enough to not take up too much space but can open up big enough that I can use it for sewing or board games or whatever. And I really like the ones with some drawers or cabinets underneath, because my place is really low on storage. And I need it to look OK with the furniture I have, which is mostly vintage medium-dark wood in relatively simple designs.
