chicago cabinets




these big guys we get out of chicago....the fanciest one is sold ...but we do have 2 others now....and more coming..........
they come the scrapper guys in chicago , ripped out of the big old houses...they were the pass thru or butlers pantry, that little room between the kitchen and dining room....they werent made to be a standing piece of furniture, rather they were part of the house........so they get torn out and come to us in rough condition , often with no backs , no sides, and no crown molding....... we take them to the amish carpenters....and they come back beautiful and ready to go back to work....they are about 100 yrs old and mostly oak......
we have about 3 more coming ....
the folks who have bought them just rave about them..... they are usualy huge and really make a room..... lots are just under 8 ft tall...
last year we probably had about 15 of them...they seem to be gettting harder for us to find now...
