Employee	Favorite piece this month	Here's why we love it!
Jay Frucci, Owner	1098-6 Stickley Coffee Table	My favorite piece is the 1229 Chippendale Tea Table manufactured by Stickley. This particular piece was introduced to the Stickley Traditional Collection in 1998 and was only manufactured for 2 years before being discontinued in 2000. So it is a somewhat unique piece in that there probably are not too many of them around. Stickley is headquartered in Manlius, NY. Though it does have a factory in Vietnam, much of the Stickley product is still produced in the good ‘ol USA.
Diana Frucci, Owner and Interior Designer		This maple drop leaf table was a favorite of mine the day it hit the floor. I'm not sure of the age of this particular table but a gate-leg table like this has been used since the late 1600's. It has been refurbished at Leonard's in Seekonk. Leonard's is known for it's spectacular antique beds which makes me think it must be at least pre-1900's. It is solidly built with four stationary legs connected by stretchers and 2 additional legs that swing out like a gate. When open, this table can seat 10-12 adults comfortably for an impromput dinner party and when it's closed it can double as a sofa table. I think with so many people downsizing from their larger colonials into the over 55' homes, a table like this would be the perfect solution for seating large families for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Joan, Sales		My favorite piece is this vanity with attached mirror. It brings back memories of my childhood when my mother would let me sit at her vanity and I would brush my long hair with her silver brush and comb set for hours. I would make believe I was snow white and the mirror would talk to me...!
Ron, Sales	1228-1 Eldred Wheeler Server	My favorite piece in the store is this traditional New England Eldred Wheeler hepplewhite sideboard. The craftsmanship is outstanding. The cabinet is solid cherry wood which has been hand paned with hand cut dove-tailed drawers. The doors have raised panels which have been inverted to give it the country look. Eldred Wheeler prides themselves in their work by using New England wood such as curly maple and cherry.
Eric, Moving	1174-1 Sofa	My primary reason for picking the Hickory White sofa as my favorite piece is simple, it's a whole lot of sofa for a very little price. I am 6 feet tall and when I lay on this sofa I feel 3 feet tall. On top of being able to fit a small family on this sofa it also offers complete comfort. The bottom line is this, if you enjoy elbow room, style and all around comfort, then this piece is for you.
Billy, Moving	48-1228 Desk	My favorite piece is this mahogany kneehold desk. The whole desk has been refinished from top to bottom, so it's practically brand new. What I like about this desk is that it is 'not your average desk'. Mostly because the edges are rounded which makes the desk look awesome (totally cool). It has plenty of drawers for a small desk. I've never seen one like it in my 10 years of working in the furniture industry.
Lianne, Photography and Website	1263-1 Vanity	I love anything that has an antique look to it. The birds eye maple adds such a refined look. I love the curved drawers and edges. The trim is elegant and really works with the whole piece. This piece would be a dream come true in any woman's or little girl's bedroom. It's a piece you just have to see! This is so elegant and pretty, it looks like it could have been in Jane Austen's bedroom.
