We're always on the lookout for well-made pieces that last, which is why we love Salvage One on Hubbard Street. Their ever-changing inventory is salvaged from buildings in Chicago and elsewhere, and they have a great selection of storage pieces, including mid-century credenzas and metal blueprint files. Click below for our roundup of storage pieces in stock right now...

These Blueprint Flat Files ($1,100) are heavy, but they'd be great for print storage, craft supplies, or a collection of smaller items.
This Lab Desk ($425) has a countertop that could create extra surface space in a kitchen office or craft area.
The top of this Mid-Century Credenza ($800) has two leaves that extend to the sides.
A rollable, stowable Mid-Century Italian Tea Cart ($475) would be a great spot for a bar or a stack of large-format books.

a great Chicago resource!
Also- a cool place to rent out for an Event.
They do a lot of Corporate gigs there, as well as Weddings, Bar & Bat Mitzvahs and the like.....

I am fiercely jealous of you Chicago folks as I always seem to find something lustworthy in the At:Chicago salvage/vintage posts.
