But seriously congrats on your purchase...take pics upon arrival.

I have an amish table and a couch with a board sticking out the back. I didn't look at your links lest I covet.
I like stuff with wires and things I can hurt myself with. Kinda ties up the budget.

Ever piece of furniture in the in-laws house (50s bungalow, solid fir) is stickley. Awesome stuff, but not an oak fan.

A bungalow is the right kind of house for it--we have an old colonial, so it's not quite right, but I like what I like.

Stickley will actually build the furniture in a variety or woods and finishes and while the classic stuff is the quarter sawn white oak mission furniture they do have a couple of lines of more modern stuff.

Maybe I can talk my wife into an aristocrat to match her chairs

I can't wait for the pics to start coming in! Got this today

All is moving along nicely. We are probably approx 2 weeks from completion. Just getting to the stage where it looks like a humidor.

It should hold 115-120 boxes and the drawer should hold 300-400 singles.
