Magazine stand - Craigslist Find

I have always mentioned my love for danish/mid century items and my daily ritual of scanning the craigslist. In the process, a few good pieces end up on my "ah! list" and the "wish I could buy" list. Craigslist is one place where I find some amazing pieces which become inspirations for my blog posts and my home decor choices as well.

I was looking through craigslist today and found this really cute magazine rack-cum-lamp stand. A very Scandinavian /danish piece made of teak. There was another very interesting thing about this piece, and that was the ad itself. (I am a huge fan of well written Craigslist copies and get inspired by sellers who take time out to describe the stuff they sell). I took the seller's permission to quote the ad and showcase the piece on The Design Enthusiast. I hope you enjoy it a much as I did.

..., slightly scarred teak side table and magazine holder!!! A beautiful piece that has held my creative loafings, dewll, and living etc mags for years!!! Super useful as well, I've had a lamp on the table part for a while and it left a ring but easily covered by another cool lamp!! Real clean lines, strong durable vinyl to hold magazines, overall a great piece but now I'm switching to lucite and chrome in my space and the teak beauties have to go.. dimensions are 18 x 16 x 28 1/2 ..I'm asking 125.00, but again I will accept reasonable offers...!! If you are a junkie like me, I do have several other items for sale as well, so please look at all my postings, you'll be glad you did!!! Thx! "

So cute right!!... shows how much love went into describing the piece and also how pained the seller is to let go her furniture  :).  I love preloved furniture, and wanted to bring it home....but the piece was already sold. Better luck next time.
