"Inside, one can see that Rietveld besides being an architect was a furniture designer. At every point - from the assortment of cupboards to the telephone table, from the ingenious stair to the fully opening living room corner window - one can see the pleasure this inspired carpenter took in his work. With slats and boards he created a spatial work of art which still astonishes merely by the fact of its existence. The Rietveld Schroeder House has become a Mecca for lovers of modern architecture. It was restored between 1985 and 1987 and fitted out as a museum house. It has been on UNESCO's World Heritage List since 2000."
