Mid-century modern design enthusiasts take note: there is one shop in Shepherd's Bush in which you may get your 'teak on'!
The shop's owner, a very chill guy, met all my questions about shipping, furniture care, and the like with friendliness and patience. (Would that I owned a truck, his shop would be empty from all the purchases I'd make!)
There were some lovely teak nesting tables, a night stand, a dressing table, many groovy chairs, and dressers that caught my eye. Considering the collectible nature of this type of furniture, I found the prices to be what one would expect. And, really, if you want an Eames chair, then you're going to shell out the bucks for it!
There's really no other reason to visit Askew Road, but, if you're in Hammersmith/Acton/Shepherd's Bush, then I'd make the trip!
