craigslist success again

Andy and I have discovered that it is really hard to get quality furniture while spending very little money :)  So we look for used furniture to help solve that issue.  It takes patience to wait for good stuff to be posted, and you might have to be willing to drive a little, but we had some success finding an end table!  We shopped in stores and they were typically $199.  We bought this one off craigslist:

 The great thing is that it has quite a bit of storage (all our blankets fit in the cabinet on the bottom), and it's really big which fills the corner of the room nicely.

 The cost of the end table?  $80.  They were also selling a matching coffee table which is very nice so we bought that too:

The seller said this pair retailed for $700, which may or may not be true, and may or may not be the actual price they paid because there's always things on sale.  But we got both for $180, which is less than half the price of the cheaper ones we saw in furniture stores.  So the best part is that we got a great deal on solid wood furniture in great shape - yay!
