Do you need a shaving stand?

Whether or not you have a shaving stand is a matter of preference. A shaving stand can help your shaving tools stay in optimal condition while allowing your tools to stay dry and prevent rusting. Shop a range of shaving stands on 1stDibs.

What equipment do I need for poker?

All you need for a game of home poker are some poker chips, a deck of cards, a table and some players. Most quality poker sets will come with 500 poker chips in three or four colors for different denominations, two decks of cards, a deal button, a big blind button and a small blind button. Shop a collection of vintage and contemporary poker sets from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

Does teak need to be sealed?

Generally, teak does not need to be sealed. The wood is naturally resistant to the effects of weather and requires very little maintenance. However, you should follow the care instructions included with your teak furniture for the best results. Explore a diverse assortment of teak wood furniture from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.

Do emeralds need to be oiled?

Yes, natural emeralds need to be oiled. Natural emeralds will have cracks and fissures before treatment, and oils will help give the emerald a high sheen and attractive finish. Browse a wide selection of emerald jewelry pieces from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

How often does a Rolex need to be serviced?

Rolex recommends getting service on your watch every 7 to 10 years by an authorized Rolex watchmaker. Many Rolex watches will run far longer if you service them as recommended to prevent problems and help minimize wear. Find authentic vintage and modern timepieces from Rolex on 1stDibs.

Do I need a watch winder for a Rolex?

A Rolex watch that is worn daily does not need winding. The Perpetual rotor uses the movement of your body to power the watch and it can hold this power for up to 70 hours. If you take off your watch for an extended period of time, more than the 70 hours, then it will need winding. Manual winding can be done by unscrewing the crown to the winding position and turning it clockwise about 20 times. Remember to screw the crown back tightly to reestablish its waterproof qualities. Shop a collection of authentic Rolex watches from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.

Do bifold doors need a track?

Yes, bifold doors need a track to open and close properly. Some styles of bifold doors have tracks along the top and the bottom, however, some styles marketed as “trackless” require only the top track to function properly. Shop a selection of bifold doors on 1stDibs.

Do crochet bags need lining?

Whether or not a crochet bag needs lining is largely a matter of personal opinion. While you can use an unlined crochet handbag, adding lining helps to strengthen the bag and prevent small items from falling through. On 1stDibs, find a variety of vintage and designer crochet bags.

What types of glasses do you need for a bar?

Bar glasses include tumblers, coupes, cocktail glasses, flutes, highball glasses, goblets, pilsners, pitchers and shot glasses.

Do you need tempered glass for a tabletop?

Whether you need tempered glass for a tabletop depends on how you intend to use your new table. Because it is cooled slowly during production, tempered glass is ultra strong and unlikely to shatter and break. As a result, tempered glass tabletops may be a better choice than standard glass tops for high-traffic areas in your home as well as for pieces that you will use on a daily basis, such as your primary dining table. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of glass tables.

Do clip on earrings need piercings?

No, clip-on earrings don't need piercings. In fact, a big part of the appeal of clip-on earrings is that they allow anyone to dress up their ears with jewelry, even if they haven't had their lobes pierced. Clip-ons are available with many styles of fasteners, including screw backs, clear invisible backs, cuffs, sliding springs and even magnets. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of clip-on earrings.

Do I need a contoured wedding band?

Whether you need a contoured wedding band depends on what your engagement ring looks like and your personal preference. Generally, people pair contoured wedding bands with engagement rings that feature curved gemstone cuts, such as the round brilliant cut, the oval cut and the pear cut. It's less common to choose contoured rings to wear with angled cut styles like the marquise, or squared-off princess and emerald cuts. Explore a selection of contoured wedding bands on 1stDibs.

Do Cartier watches need servicing?

Yes, Cartier watches do need servicing roughly every five years. Servicing should include disassembly of the watch, cleaning of the case and metal bracelet and movement refurbishment. On 1stDibs, you can find a collection of expertly vetted Cartier watches from some of the world’s top sellers.

Do you really need a headboard for your bed?

While a headboard is a great way to decorate a bedroom they are not always a necessity. There are other ways to get creative, especially in a small space, in terms of decorating without a headboard to create a finished bedroom.

Do plant pots need saucers?

No, plant pots do not need saucers. While saucers are not necessary, some choose to place a plant pot over a saucer to collect the water that drains from the pot. Others recommend against saucers because water that collects will keep the soil of the plant too moist, an unhealthy condition for most plants.

Do pillar candles need a holder?

Because pillar candle holders burn into themselves, they do not need a candle holder. But it makes sense to have a pillar plate at least to prevent wax residue from ending up on your furniture.

Do fireplaces need a heat shield?

No, not all fireplaces need a heat shield. However, a heat shield can enhance the visual appearance of the space while also protecting the room. Carefully measure your fireplace to ensure the best fit. Shop a wide range of heat shields and fireplace inserts on 1stDibs.

Do you need a box spring with a bed frame?

You do not need a box spring unless your bed frame uses slats for support. A matterness can simply sit on the bed frame's solid platform.

Do planter boxes need drainage holes?

If your planter boxes aren't made of a very porous material, you should add drainage holes to avoid accidentally drowning your plants or flowers. However, if the material is porous, the water will naturally pass through.

How much space do I need for my dining table?

A dining table should have a minimum of 30 to 36 inches of clearance around it.

How often does a Rolex need to be serviced?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

Do I need a watch winder for a Rolex?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
A Rolex watch that is worn daily does not need winding. The Perpetual rotor uses the movement of your body to power the watch and it can hold this power for up to 70 hours. If you take off your watch for an extended period of time, more than the 70 hours, then it will need winding. Manual winding can be done by unscrewing the crown to the winding position and turning it clockwise about 20 times. Remember to screw the crown back tightly to reestablish its waterproof qualities. Shop a collection of authentic Rolex watches from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.

Do you need tempered glass for a tabletop?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
Whether you need tempered glass for a tabletop depends on how you intend to use your new table. Because it is cooled slowly during production, tempered glass is ultra strong and unlikely to shatter and break. As a result, tempered glass tabletops may be a better choice than standard glass tops for high-traffic areas in your home as well as for pieces that you will use on a daily basis, such as your primary dining table. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of glass tables.

Do plant pots need saucers?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
No, plant pots do not need saucers. While saucers are not necessary, some choose to place a plant pot over a saucer to collect the water that drains from the pot. Others recommend against saucers because water that collects will keep the soil of the plant too moist, an unhealthy condition for most plants.
