Schools toss out loads of good stuff. I picked up three one metre square waist high drawer units on wheels a couple of weeks ago for my wife's studio. They're made of plywood. I'm guessing 60s/70s construction. The school got new science labs and the old stuff had to go. You'll probably find...

My all time favourite arm chair is the Poltrana Frau 904 - in red. 100 year old design. I've only ever seen a red one in photos. http://www.bonluxat.com/a/poltrona-frau-new-deal-armchair.html

If you can fit an 8 seater, you'll probably regret getting a 6 seater. $1,500 honestly does seem pretty cheap to me if it is solid hardwood and well finished. I'd say those Wagga made tables are probably more expensive than that. I don't know a heck of alot about different timbers, but I'm...

A solid timber table for $1,500 sounds like a bargain to me. Get two of them. People pay that for veneer tables. You'll have a solid timber one forever. Imagine how often you will will use it. In my suburb, the council make rubbish pick-ups on Thursdays. We just book on-line or call the...
