As the seller correctly notes, it’s somewhat rare to find a roll top desk done up mid century style. They normally look like they belong on a 18th century whaling ship, not in a modern home. This one however does a fine job of breaking the mold. Not to mention, with two pull out work areas you’re hardly sacrificing any surface space over a normal desk. Imagine running all your computer cordage back up into the bowels of this thing and having nothing but a single power cord shooting out the back… Oh yeah, that’s the centralized cleanliness this mudlark lusts after.[CL]

1. Original cabinet speakers are still intact and ready to use.
2. It has Tambour doors that disappear into the unit when opened.
3. $250 for such a large piece in NYC is pretty damn good.

Now that you know why Mudlarks like it here’s what the seller had to say:

Very long and sleek. Tambour doors that disappear into the unit when opened. This piece was a former stereo cabinet that was converted to a credenza. There are still very good speakers in the ends of the units with wires ready to connect to a stereo if you desire the center is cabinet space for lots of storage. The condition is very good it is solid wood and has nice lines. Dimensions are 84″ long 18″ dee[ 30.5" tall.

Not much needs to be said, it’s $175 for a pretty cool lookin’ blue sofa. [CL]

Sets are the best treasures a Mudlark can find and dining sets are most sought after. So there’s no question this Lane dining room set that includes a double drop-leaf table, six chairs and a hutch for only $400 is a really good deal. Instead of writing the typical Mudlark babble here’s the seller’s description:

This is a 60′ vintage and rare Danish American Dining Room set manufactured by Lane. It is in good shape. There are six chairs, two with arms plus nice table top pads. The top of the hutch is a separate piece so moving is east. The table has fold up leaves at each end so it is very compact with th leaves down.

Cheap cheap cheap! This teak wall unit with a three-drawer unit, doored unit, and four flat shelves really is a steal for $100. Mudlarks spoke to the seller over the phone and he informed us that even the wall mounts are teak, so lets call this whole set TEAK-O-LICOUS! [CL]

Since it’s the end of the week lets label this one the Steal Of The Week. Sure it’s not the most amazing dresser, but for $10 it’s good enough. [CL]

Converting old credenzas into modern entertainment systems is a Mudlark past time. So when we saw this long narrow credenza with one side drawers and the other side glass doored storage our eyes lit up. We can just imagine the countless hours we’d spend staring at this beauty while we indulge in treats on the couch. Dimensions are 60″ long 27.5″ tall 16″ deep which really makes it the perfect living room centerpiece. [BLOG]

This dark wood telephone chair with writing service is a pretty good deal for $60. Yea yea, you’ll say “why do you want a telephone chair if all you have is a mobile phone?” Mudlarks answer, “SHUT THE FUCK UP!” [CL]
