HI, Well, I wouldn't know the true value, but with its wonderful lines, and buffet, 2,000 certainly seems reasonable. Really a lovely set. Love the dark wood, and the pedestal type table. Very unique, I'd take a look under the table and chairs for labels that might give you a clue as to who made them. If I had the room, I'd go for them.

Afraid you are delusional. Furniture is a lot like cars. A new Mercedes after 5,000 miles is just a used car.....albeit a used Mercedes! If you can get half of what you paid for it you are very lucky....or have found a perfect buyer. Linda C

I think you could check the listings in the SF Craigs list for furniture and you might find what others are asking for thier high end furniture. My daughter lives near Seattle and just before Thanksgiving she found a beautiful hand made dining room set with a table that extends about 15 feet with all the leafs in and 12 chairs, all with arms and very beautiful thick pads in the high backs and seats. The original cost was over $6000 abd she paik only $1200 for it.

@Windows on Washington Ltd and @quasiexpert Sorry if my last message came through in a different tone, I'd been up for awhile and was just stream of consciousness posting. From my research here on this forum, it just seems that invariably quite a few posts discount the entry level windows and recommend the Anderson 400 or Marvin Integrity ++ type windows. Hoping that I can learn from you all. Our situation is a new construction in the deep South (Birmingham AL). About 60 windows on the house. Front facing windows I believe have to be aluminum clad, the rear might be able to get way with a vinyl window. Rear will be facing the South West, but looks like there will be some tree coverage as well as decks/roofing for the majority of the windows. The builder has spec'd Piva Group vinyl windows. They are Argon filled, double glazed, Low E 366. U-factor 0.26, SHGC 0.21, Visible Transmittance 0.49 and air leakage < 0.3. He mentioned that the Anderson 100's might be within the same price range, and we would be interested in the Smart Sun if it's available with the low E4 coating to help protect the wood floors. While I can appreciate the beauty of the wood interiors, our preference is for something low maintenance and can handle sun without fading. We've never had a double hung window before and a single hung is fine. We open the windows in our current house maybe 8-10 times a year to air the house out, otherwise they stay shut. Sadly, we wash our windows even less times /duck Given the above criteria, might you have some thoughts or recommendations, or are there any additional questions I might answer?
