Piece is in overall, good, original, vintage condition. ~ It has 2 drop leaves with 2 sliding mechanisms, so it can increase or decrease in size, making it completely versatile and possible for it to be fully open, half open or fully closed, based on one's needs, or space (see photos.) ~ It truly looks like an actual boomerang, regardless of what angle one views at it (see photos.) What is noticeably and distinctly unique about this boomerang coffee table that differs from others, are three particular features: Made of teak, this gorgeous piece was created from one piece of wood that was cut at a particular angle, then designed and assembled in such a way, that the symmetry at the junction and on either side of it, has wood grains and patterns, that match and flow beautifully into one another. If you choose to start selling I wish you the best of luck! We’re definitely not getting rich by selling in our booth but it gives us a place to unload some of our projects and it’s a lot of fun :).Very uncommon and rare to find, mid-century, Danish modern, vintage, teak, boomerang coffee table with 2 drop leaves, designed by Edvard Valentinsen, for Samcom, circa 1960s. Don’t sell yourself short and don’t give away your hard work. We immediately thought we needed to lower the price, but the reality is sometimes there’s nothing wrong with the price and you just need to wait for the right buyer to come along. But then there would be a couple pieces that didn’t. When we first started selling, a lot of our stuff would sell within days of putting it in the booth. And lastly, don’t be quick to lower your prices. People are more likely to buy if you can give them a vision of how it can look in their home.
Just putting them in a box on the ground isn’t nearly as appealing as if you placed them on a cute bench.
#DROP LEAF COFFEE TABLES HOW TO#
Knowing what other people were getting for similar products helped us decide how to price our stuff. We also did a lot of research before we opened our booth by walking around and seeing what the price range was in the area where we sell. But if you just label it as a table it leaves it open for their own interpretation of what they can do with it. So if we remake an old sewing table, I wouldn’t tag it as a sewing table because many times a customer will get tunnel vision and say oh, I don’t need a sewing table. You also have to be careful with how you label things. For instance, a table that can be used as a night stand or an end table can go into many different rooms in your house and will sell quicker than, say, a vanity that’s very specific. Hi Kelli!

This is the first time we’ve worked with this product and so far I think I like it, but I want to play with it some more before telling you guys for sure what we think.ĭo you sell painted furniture? I’m curious to hear what sells best in your area and what doesn’t. We sealed it with CeCe Caldwell’s Endurance. We did a little distressing around the edges, and I love that you can see a bit of the tan paint and some of the original dark wood finish. It sat, and it sat, and instead of lowering the price I decided to just give the people what they wanted and repaint it white. I decided to go with it anyway and see if it would sell. It was tan with a grain sack stripe and a number, and when I asked for opinions on Facebook you guys were 50/50 whether you liked it or not. I had painted this drop leaf coffee table once before. So even though I sometimes feel like I’m going to poke my eyes out if I have to open another can of Annie Sloan Old White paint, if we want to sell something quickly that’s the direction we head in. I love to experiment with different colors and finishes, but we know when we do that, it’ll probably take twice as long to sell as when we just paint it white. People dig the white, slightly distressed furniture around here. But we’ve learned quickly that this style sells in our area. Sometimes we get bored with painting things white, and because we feel like it might bore you too, we don’t share all of the white makeovers on our blog. Two things we’ve learned from selling furniture in a booth space.
