None of the staff are particularly savvy with the different era's that qualify as Mid Century modern. I've seen knock off they pass off at high prices, and none are truly "sustainable" if they are vintage: The era was known for its machine manufacturing of plastic varnishes, naugahyde and other synthetic fabrics.
If you want staff that think "angular" is the only definition of modern, Ethel is for you. If you want knowledgable and friendly staff, I'd look elsewhere.

Reviews on public forums like this can do a lot to hurt a business, especially when they are overtly false and sound like they were possibly written about a different store. So, Nomi Zen, if you have a problem with my shop, come and talk to me personally.
And for anyone else who reads this site, just know that I am a very friendly shop owner who takes time to explain the furniture, WHY it's mid-century modern vs mid-century modest and who can spot a knock-off at twenty paces!
