| | | Murphy's Soap Oil furniture cleaner | | I looked on their site,a nd hear all the commercials, but when all is said and done, the absolute best place to find out if something does what it says it does or what you need it to do is to ask the experts yourself.....so..... I ask MyLotters.....Anyone used this stuff? how does it clean? Does it strip colors or wood grain or just exactly what was your experience with it?I am wanting to "clean" some 28 year old formal dinning room table and chairs. The table top is perfect and shiney and on the dark side, so I can't do anything to change it or I'd strip it al down and paint it white! But the table legs and chairs are the same dark browh, wood etching on the back of the chairs of a vine design. But through the years of being used nad being stored, the "shine" of the chair has long been gone, they are dark brown and then stained and rubbed off for a wood grain look or to "antique" the etchings. It is probably a comtempory style (at least back then) rather simple in a formal kind of way. When I tried to wipe off the backs of the chairs with soapy water it just made them darker. I want to clean them up and found a great place to reupholster the seats for about $100 for all four... | |

| What is the Oldest Piece of Furniture in Your Home?? | | I have a rocking chair that has been in my grandma´s home. She was born in 1885 and I think the chair is more than a hundred years old..[em]rolleyes[/em]..I often prefer[b]old[/b] things instead of new ones..[em]happy[/em] | |
| | | New furniture vs. old/used furniture. Which do you think is better quality? | | We are moving in about a month into a much larger house and have been furniture shopping for pieces to fill up the house. We are looking for a dining room set, kitchen table set, miscellaneous chairs, tables, etc.Last weekend we visited several new furniture stores. I was so disappointed in the quality of the furniture they were selling and at super high prices. I felt very discouraged. I don't want to pay outrageous prices for furniture that won't last.Then during the week I stopped at a little antique shop near my home. I was so surprised at how well older furniture was built. And the prices were so cheap!!We have decided to purchase all used/antique furniture. If it needs a little work, we're fine with that, we will fix up what needs to be fixed up. The woods are strong and the craftsmenship of the pieces can't be beat. Plus older furniture has so much more "style" then the new furniture you find at retail furniture stores.Plus we will be giving a local family-run store some great business. I will pass on the word to any of my friends that older furniture is the way to go.So, how do you feel about purchasing older/antique... | |

| | Anyone buy furniture from Rooms To Go? | | We are moving in May and need to replace a lot of our furniture (which sort of sucks). I am shopping around for prices and so far Rooms To Go looks pretty good. I know a lot of people who have looked but never found exactly what they want from them. The picture below is the table I am hoping to get.Have you bought anything from them? How did it hold up?
