FINALLY a great furniture score for TheThriftShopper *With Pics!*

[Good Buddy]

Last night while running some errands with my neighbor Mike we stopped off at the new Goodwill near us at 8:55pm just to make a 5 minute run through.
As we went to the back of the store in the furniture section I noticed a REALLY nice dining room table and 6 chairs, mid century danish modern. Cookie and I have been looking for a nice dining set for years and this was the set we were looking for. I was videoing the table and chairs to show Cookie when I got home and the manager, a really nice young lady named Jenna, came over to kick us out as our 5 minutes were up. I asked her if she might be able to give her Good Buddy at TheThriftShopper.Com a better deal on it. She then motioned to the wall and said, "I think that piece goes with it too.". There standing against the wall was the companion buffet dining hutch. I asked her how much for both. She gave us about $30 off the total and we paid about $200 for all of it.
When I clean everything up and load the buffet and cabinet I'll post pics.
On the back of the pieces there's a date stamp of 1960 and 1961 and the brand of furniture is Drexel. The overall condition is very good with some obvious wear, but the pieces are all really nice.
We'll load it all up tomorrow night and I'll take some pics.

Wowsers!    Those Drexel MCM pieces go for big bucks, I think.  How lucky to get all of them in one swoop, Your dining room will be the envy of all!

I wish my GW stayed open until 9pm!

Great find!  My mom has a beautiful, matching teak Scandinavian Designs dining table, buffet and hutch that she bought in the mid-80's.  All the chairs she originally purchased (6) were destroyed I mean broken by my chair tipping brother and his friends.  Last fall, I was at my local GW on a rainy Friday night 5 minutes before closing and I saw the most beautiful teak dining chairs being carried out from the back.  I snatched them up for just $6.95 each.  My mom was SO happy!  Maybe shopping GW at closing is a good thing...

The hutch is 6 feet wide and has all of our thrifted cookbooks and many other thrifted do-dads.

Truly awesome set!  The wood is beautiful, especially the table top.  You will have be on the hunt now for some interesting candlesticks.  You should have a dinner party to celebrate!

What a great dining room set!  Love the color of the finish and the nice clean lines of the style. 

[Good Buddy]

It's so interesting how luck plays such a HUGE role in thrift shopping. That and tenacity.

Great score!  The thing I like about it is there is so much storage... which we need a lot of in our house. 

[anastasiabeaverhausen]

wow...thats gorgeous....I bet you both are thrilled...I managed a good score a couple weeks ago as well...I found two buffets (maybe sideboard?)  three drawers and a door...not sure the wood type..but looks like your hutch...has that wave (?) in the wood...definately MCM they were actually furniture made to give to military families moving into base housing made by Dixie in 1964, hubby said what will you do with two....rolling eyes...they were two for 20 bucks how could I NOT buy them both??

[HIPam]

Anastasia, at two for $20, you'd HAVE to buy both to be considered a thrifter at heart. lol What a great deal!!!!!

[foutchie]

Lovely!!!  BTW, is that a Jeannie bottle on top of the hutch?
