I wanted a rustic-looking dining room table for this moody and intimate room. It would need to serve not only as a place for our family to gather, but also as a desk for when I work from home. I also didn’t want to pay $1000+ for a table, so my search for something close to what I wanted began. (read: stalking tables on Facebook Marketplace).

I found this table, two chairs, and a bench for only $50 from someone just a stone’s throw away from my house. It was a STEAL. Everything was in good working order; they just needed some TLC - some good sanding, a little paint, and newly covered cushions, and it was perfect!
