Shipping:
Shipping/Freight is set at a fixed price for the continental US. Processing times are set at 4-8 weeks, however, you will most likely receive it before that time frame. The shipping times vary depending on where our freight provider is on their route at the time of purchase and also how far your city is from Houston. Thank you in advance for your understanding. We ultimately want items to arrive safely and in good condition to their new homes and have chosen our relationship with our freight provider with this in mind. At the time of purchase please provide your phone number for us to pass along to the freight provider. We are unable to send the piece with them until we have all the information to give to him upon pickup.
There is absolutely no way to obtain a tracking number for this type of private transport for your furniture purchase. The larger freight companies that do offer a tracking number require items to be crated. This would be a significant additional cost and add to the lead time that would be at the buyers expense. The need of a lift gate is essential for the loading and unloading of furniture, thus the option to deliver to a residential address is null and void with the freight providers that do offer tracking numbers. The only avenues in this type of freight industry that offer tracking numbers DO NOT offer the solutions or competitive advantages that this type of furniture purchase on Etsy would typically need. Private transporters are the most cost efficient and economical solution to move vintage furniture across the United States. I have done my due diligence to try to find a cost effective way to get items transported to you with minimal risk of damage. If this is important to you please message prior to purchase and I will be happy to update the listings shipping cost to reflect $0 and be available to hand over possession of your item to the freight provider of your choosing that you might find to offer you a tracking number.
If you live in the New York Metropolitan area an up charge of $250 will be added to the existing freight price.
**In the unlikely even that your item is damaged during shipping. Our freight provider reserves first right of refusal to repair and redeliver. Freight is a third party provider contract and once the item is picked up and in their possession the third party terms and conditions control the remainder of the transaction.
If you would like to avoid the freight charge just message me and I can edit the listing to reflect $0 shipping cost. This would be for personal pickups or if you wanted to arrange for your own freight to pickup in Houston (77004 zip code).
*Continental US exclude the non-contiguous states of Alaska and Hawaii, and all other off-shore insular areas difficult to get to with ferries or bridges, such as but not limited to American Samoa, U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Guam and Puerto Rico and The Florida Keys*

About Børge Mogensen (Designer):
Among the great mid-20th century Danish furniture designers, Børge Mogensen distinguished himself with his faith to traditional values of craftsmanship and honesty of materials. While peers such as Hans Wegner, Finn Juhl and Arne Jacobsen designed some of the most striking and now iconic furnishings of the era, Mogensen focused on making pieces that were simple, durable and comfortable — and in the long run perhaps more useful and better loved.
Mogensen studied under and later worked for Kaare Klint, a master cabinetmaker whose chief tenets were quality of construction and simplicity of line. Klint was a classicist, who believed that furniture forms should evolve from those of historical models. So, too, in his way was Mogensen, as two of his best-known earlier pieces attest. His 1945 Spokeback Sofa, with hinged arms that can be lowered to facilitate lounging, is a reinterpretation of the venerable Knole settee. With the oval silhouette of its plywood backrest and waterdrop-shaped cutouts, Mogenson’s Shell chair, designed in 1949, can be seen as a novel take on early 19th century Empire side chairs.
Yet Mogensen shared the aesthetical sensibilities of his most forward-looking colleagues. His cabinets deploy the same spare geometries and lushly figured woods as those of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and his disciple Florence Knoll, the chief difference being that Mies and Knoll used chrome steel for the frames and legs of their pieces. The brawny oak frames and slung leather seats and backrests of Mogensen’s Hunting chair (1950) and Spanish chair (1958) display the same hefty construction and appreciation of natural materials seen in the work of Charlotte Perriand and Sergio Rodrigues. As you will see from the furnishings on 1stDibs, Børge Mogensen designed for function more than sculptural effect. While his chairs may not be the first pieces in a décor to draw the eye, they are often the first to draw in those looking for a comfortable seat.
