This lower-level warehouse is a treasure trove of Far Eastern showpieces in solid, long-lasting woods. If your new condo lacks closet space, come here for a massive wardrobe in which to house your massive wardrobe—for around $1,000 you can get an early-20th-century Chinese piece fit for an emperor, while fans of salvage can choose one from Rajasthan, India, with doors made of reclaimed windows. A dining table and six chairs, all in lustrous rosewood, are $1,395; a plantation mahogany hutch-like piece, with a wine rack, two drawers and a shelf, is $600. There are also bookcases, bar stools and teak outdoor furniture; end-of-season sales see prices drop even further.
