<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sedona, post: 9612955, member: 4438&quot;]Correct. I used the word “Stickley” loosely. The table in the link I posted is actually Gustav Stickley.</p><p><br /></p><p>We have inherited several pieces of furniture from at least four different great-grandparents from all sides of the family, including multiple dressers of various makers made from circa 1920-1940. One set of my husband’s great grandparents owned a furniture store in Los Angeles before the War, so we even have his father’s Art Deco dresser from when he was a boy back then. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Stickley pieces (a low dresser, a high boy dresser, and a sewing table with leaves that drop on the sides) have a noticeably better quality than all of them. All of the sides of a drawer, and the bottoms, are solid wood, as is the piece of wood at the back of the dresser (the back facing the wall). Perhaps it’s because they are pre-Depression pieces. In addition, the finish of the wood itself is wonderful. That is, even before you open a drawer, you can tell the quality just by looking at it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Both the materials and the craftsmanship on the Stickley pieces are much better than any other piece we own from that era.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
