Looky what some big dope was giving the heave-ho to! I actually rescued two of these classic 1952 Diamond Chairs by Harry Bertoia from the garbage. I keep one eye on the curb and I 'm always prepared to slam on my breaks.
That is a great find! My family has finally gotten used to my curb shopping. I am known as a champion dumpster diver even though I rarely if ever look in dumpsters (the good stuff is usually setting next to it so that lucky ones like me can find it)
Wow! Good eyes. Whiplash is well worth it to rescue stuff like this! This summer we found a brand new Weber grill on the side of the road...turns out the nut under the "On" switch was just loose...they threw it out! :)

SCORE!!!
That is a score. I had a real diamond end up in the garbage so your post title made me a little hopeful somehow...
How long does it take to one's family to get used to it?
until one finds such a chair ???
wonder....
Ooh I love it! How lucky are you! All I find by the side of the road is garbage! Maybe I need to look in different neighborhoods!
