<p>[QUOTE="BettyRubble, post: 9848704, member: 85146"]Several years ago I chatted with developer who was cleaning out a house he had acquired as an estate sale. He let me go through the house and take what I could. The big score (literally pulled from the dumpster) was a teak dining set, Knudsen Andersen for JCA Jensen. Plus full credenza. All the chairs were busted. I had to rebuild all the seats. One chair had a shattered leg. Had to pay someone for that. Here’s a link to the chairs from an auction house: <a href="https://www.pamono.eu/dining-chairs-in-teak-by-knud-andersen-for-jca-jensen-1960s-set-of-4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pamono.eu/dining-chairs-in-teak-by-knud-andersen-for-jca-jensen-1960s-set-of-4" rel="nofollow">https://www.pamono.eu/dining-chairs-in-teak-by-knud-andersen-for-jca-jensen-1960s-set-of-4</a></p><p><a href="https://www.pamono.eu/dining-chairs-in-teak-by-knud-andersen-for-jca-jensen-1960s-set-of-4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pamono.eu/dining-chairs-in-teak-by-knud-andersen-for-jca-jensen-1960s-set-of-4" rel="nofollow">I</a> have had other miracle finds which were either free (off the curb), or picked up for a couple bucks at a yard sale so effectively, free.
