Lane Dining Room Set – $400

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.

In Lane Acclaim there is a barber showing photographs… – $150/$195

As I’ve mentioned before we all think that these Lane Acclaim coffee tables are just swell. Here’s your chance to get a large part of the set, for a pretty reasonable price. My logic is that you can pay a bit more for the convenience of getting all 3 at once and not having to hunt around. (You can pay for convenience now that the economy is all better… No shut-up, if we all believe it, it’ll become reality. What the hell am I talking about, just go by some damn coffee tables.). [CL]

Lane Acclaim With Some Swivel – $300

We’ve already outed the Lane Acclaim series as a Mudlark Favorite, so we gotta show more. This double layered Lane coffee table has the ability to Swivel at one end point making the table extremely versatile in shape and size. Even though the Acclaim series coffee tables do wash up somewhat frequently, this Swivel version does not.. So for $300 it’s not that bad of a deal. [CL]

Benches/Elongated Coffee Table BLOWOUT – $120 – $130 – $150

Theres been an abundance of “benches” on LA’s Craigslist recently (benches is in quotes because the last one seems very coffeetablesque to me. But there’s noting to stop you from sitting on it so I’m taking some license here and calling it a bench.)

  1. A slat wood jobber. It’s the cheapest of the lot at $120, even though there’s really no noticeable difference between it and bench number 3, which weighs in at $150.[CL]

  2. Easily the most coffee table-like of the lot. It’s solid wood and made by Lane. I think the $130 price tag represents a fine middle ground between the extremes of the two slat benches (no one likes extremes).[CL]

  3. And the final slat wood bench/coffee table. Admittedly it does have nicer looking legs than bench number one. And the slat seems tighter which would make it nicer for say, setting champagne glasses on. So perhaps there is some merit to the $20 price differentiation. [CL]

Not your plane jane Lane, coffee table… – $145

These bitching Lane coffee tables are on the top 10 list of Mudlark favorite pieces. You can find pretty killer deals on them and the end tables come on the used market fairly regularly. You’d be a bona-fide sucker not to love that dovetail style. [CL]
