There comes a day in every deal hunter's life where the impossible briefly intersects with reality. A day of unbeatable personal bests. For me, it was the day I found this brass music stand. I did not buy it from Chairish for $1,150. We can do better

Cloth Napkins

Cloth napkins may seem unnecessarily fancy when paper towels exist, but they are worth the investment. They add an air of stability and permanence to the dinner table, like you have settled in to live here. Their thickness and absorbency is superior to paper, so you don't have
