I'm so far from an expert about lead remediation. It's something I'm aware of, especially since I'm doing a semi-DIY "period" renovation. It's something I bear in mind when deciding what to go with, for example I decided against an antique cast iron tub and sink from a restoration place and I've replaced a few things in my apartment, but I didn't freak out about the radiator refinishing. If I had a different life, e.g. children or the chance of having them, I'd make different decisions. From everything I've researched it's a complicated issue. If it's something you're worried about, $25 is nothing, as is getting rid of the furniture.
