My Fiance and I found this Dining Room Table and 6 Chairs at a steal...ok, maybe it wasn't free but as far as I am concerned we needed it and sometimes one needs to treat themselves....we are all current with our debt/bills payments etc.....We do have a little bit of room for a little luxury and to us this was it. We paid $100 for this set, he threw in $50 and I threw in $50 plus another $25 each to go get it for gas in our friends truck as it was an hours drive away. So basically it cost us a total of $75 each. Anyhow, here it is and We are so Thrilled...this will be in our home for many generations to come We bought a fixer upper house so please don't mind the areas in which we have not renovated yet. The grain of the tiger maple can be seen clearly in the middle leaf section of the table as it was probably not used very much over the decades as you can tell by the wear on the rest of the table but it is a true treasure.
