Midcentury Chair

Exactly! That’s one of the best parts about restoring vintage furniture—so much of it was built to last. Solid wood frames, real joinery (like dovetails or dowels), and attention to craftsmanship are hard to find in today’s mass-produced stuff. Even a piece that looks rough on the outside usually has a solid core, just waiting for a little love.

Midcentury pieces especially—those clean lines and minimalist forms let the materials and construction shine. And when you update the foam and fabric, suddenly it’s comfortable and stylish again.
