I had exactly the same dilemma with buying furniture after we left NYC. Spend $500 on some shit from Wayfair or Overstock that I have to put together myself or spend $500 on a credenza that has already lasted for 60 years. Obviously I did the latter. We've been exceedingly happy with our 60s furniture purchases. Just really made to last.
This was restored (basically just sanded and re-oiled) and I think we paid $550 for it. And got matching night stands for $300... Bargain, IMO.
Lovely stuff Dov.
