A couple of weeks ago, we were having coffee near a furniture shop. We had been discussing up grading/updating out table and chairs and decided to go and see what what available and the prices that are being asked. Our tables and chairs were a small set as one house ago,our current dining suite didn't fit so we bought a smaller round table that did extend to an oval and four chairs. Fine for us but with family visiting we really needed six at least.
Many nice suites some in white or glass and i liked them but when it boiled down to it, they just wouldn't have worked with our existing furniture. There was one that ticked all of the boxes for both of us, wooden, six chairs, would fit and the price was not too bad. Then a saleswoman came over, always at the wrong time, we explained that we were just looking and she said that is was a pretty good deal for $XXXX, less than we had worked out. She said that our price was as indiviual pieces but buying as a set was her price. Hummmm, did seem a good deal, she wandered off to see if they had one in stock. We have bought a couple of things from there before over the years and it was a six week turn around, but they did have one in stock.
Oh bugger, its only money and not too much as that, trouble is what to do with the existing table and chairs. Warren had the bright idea to put it on Ebay, starting price $10. Some-one bought it at that price and came and took it away, bonus.
When our Christmas breakfast was diverted to here, I thought well at least more people can sit around it food, plates cutlery were placed on table but kids went outside and adults mainly sat in the lounge room.
