Center Stage Antiques – Frequently Asked Questions
What makes your furniture valuable?
At Center Stage Antiques, we believe well‑crafted furniture should be accessible without the ridiculous markups you’ll find elsewhere. Our prices are consistently lower than most of our competition because we focus on real value, not inflated pricing.
Unlike mass‑produced pressboard or particleboard furniture, our pieces are built from solid wood, chosen for durability and timeless design.
How can I quickly check if furniture is quality?
- Material: Solid wood lasts; pressboard does not.
- Joinery: Look for dovetail or mortise‑and‑tenon joints.
- Strength: Quality feels sturdy, not wobbly.
- Finish: Surfaces should be smooth and even.
- Longevity: Ask if it will still look good and hold up years from now.
