Today I bought a dining table and chairs. I've been looking for a couple of months, but couldn't find anything that was 1) cheap, 2) looked nice and 3) didn't take up a lot of space. Last week, I purchased a nice dining table and chairs from Art Van for $250. It was a really cool, trendy triangular table in an espresso finish with three matching chairs. However, once I got it home and out of the box, I found huge cracks in two of the chairs and the table itself looked like wild orangutans were running whatever Korean shoe-factory machine they were using to make the furniture.
So I ducked into Bed, Bath and Beyond today for a quick look around, and saw a wooden folding table for $60, with matching folding chairs for $40 apiece. I bought the table and two chairs for a little more than half what I paid for the Art Van furniture, and it actually looked almost as nice. Almost.

This time, everything was in great condition and looked really nice, considering how much I paid. And I was ridiculously excited about the fact I could fold them up and put them in my closet. Someday, I'll have a life where these kinds of things don't faze me. But, for now ... YAY FOR CHEAP FURNITURE!
