Well, it’s official. We have a winner for our contest: Best Thing I Ever Bought Secondhand. Lucas F has won a $100 gift card to Consignments Ltd. He reported on his score of a D.R. Dimes Comb-back, Writing-Arm, Windsor Chair like the one above. He found it at a local secondhand store for $425. And, according to Lucas, he and his partner have placed it prominently in their historic, colonial home.
If that seems like a lot for a chair, you may not have heard of D.R. Dimes. D.R. Dimes is America’s premier Windsor chair maker and they build every chair, by hand, to order in their shop in Pittsfield, NH. Each of their custom-builds take 16 weeks or more. They currently offer this chair, in this finish, for $3468 before tax or shipping. So you can truly see what a great get this is. Lucas reports that he couldn’t be happier with his best secondhand purchase. And now he will be able to buy something else to go with it. Congratulations, Lucas.
Thank you to everyone who entered the contest. I read so many great stories about the best things you ever bought secondhand. I really appreciate you sharing these with me and I hope you will keep them coming. Email me at consignmentslimited@gmail.com and tell me all about them.
