Will delivery be a nightmare in my building?

Is Facebook Marketplace the best place to buy MCM in Charlotte, NC?

It can work, but authenticity and condition vary wildly. Curated inventory lowers risk and saves time.

How do I tell if a teak credenza is real vintage?

Check joinery, drawer interiors, back construction, and hardware quality. Real vintage usually shows better structural logic than repro.

What should I look for on veneer edges and corners?

Ask for close-ups of edges, corners, and top surfaces in good light. Minor wear is normal; active lifting needs disclosure.

Keep stable indoor humidity, avoid direct vent blast, and use gentle finish care. Seasonal movement is manageable with consistent care.

What’s the best first mid century piece to buy?

Start with a sideboard or credenza. It adds storage, scale, and instant design clarity.

What holds value best if I resell later?

Designer names, great condition, and timeless categories (credenzas, dining, signature seating) typically hold strongest.

How do I avoid buying a piece that won’t fit?

Measure your tightest entry points first: door width, hall turns, stair clearances, and elevator interior dimensions.
