Question of the Day - Sunday, April 21st, 2024

Today's question is from @Evadig:

What’s the oldest piece of furniture you own?

My china cabinet. It was my grandmother's

 

[JacinLarkwell]

I think the china cabinet. It was like my mom's grandmother's or my grandma's grandma's

 

[tripletfeb]

My pie safe, probably. Or my grain scale coffee table. Both from the early 1800's but not sure the exact year

 

[BantyChooks]

I don’t have much in the way of furniture. The futon I sleep on is ~40 years old but I’m not sure that counts as furniture given it looks more like a thick blanket. Everything else is an Amazon special.

 

[Shabby Chic-Hens]

I’m not sure.

Probably a refurbished chair (standard kitchen chair), 120+ years old. Nothing special about it except for the fact that it's been in regular use for generations.

 

[Evadig]

Thank you for choosing my question. I think the oldest piece of furniture I own is a kitchen table (and chairs) along with its accompanying hutch. I think it was made some time in the 1950’s. I got the whole concern at a yard sale for $150!

I wouldn't know. Maybe that nightstand I use as extended memory for stuff that won't fit on my desk? Not sure though.

Sounds like me, in addition to a filing cabinet and several bins in my closet!

I have several big boxes of stuff.
