I was at work this morning, and the wife of one of the guys I work with calls and says "Hey Julie, I've got a table and chairs I can't use anymore, do you want it?" I say "sounds interesting, how much do you want for it?" "Nothing", she says. Hmm...that's exactly how much I have!
(you're not looking at my dirty carpet are you?)
Of course I want it...for a couple of reasons:
#1. I have some weird inability to turn down almost any free item offered to me.
#2. While my dining table is A-OK, my second hand chairs that we've been using almost eight years have had just about enough of my posterior region sitting on them.
So I was only working a half day today anyway, so after work, I fly over to her house to take a peek at them, and thought they were great! I think the chairs weigh about 300 pounds each!
I love this design in the backs of the chairs.
While I'd love to pay them in a ton of money, I hope they'll settle for scones and many happy thanks!

Looks like a gorgeous set. Lucky you to have such nice friends.
Great friend! I really like round tables. They make conversation at the table so easy. (although, many of our family dinners lack anything that could be called conversation, we try.) You're going to enjoy that beautiful table.
What a great set and you can't beat the price!
Saw the title and thought you were posting about me again. I'll go see if I have any extra furniture laying around you can have.

Hahahaha I have a genetic inability to turn down free stuff, I just can't! Even if I don't want the stuff, I'll still take it because the "it's free" bell goes off in my head!
I like the degisn on the chairs too!
