My name is Erin, and I am a craigslist addict. I first experienced the magic in 2004, when I purchased my fabulous metallic red Ford Focus, which I adore to this day. Now that I have an empty house to furnish and an empty wallet, I’m constantly trolling the listings for furniture. It takes time, but eventually you will find a gem. The latest? Our new dining room table. Solid mahogany, seats up to 8, two removable leaves, originally $700 from Crate and Barrel. Our price: $250. Woohoo!
We bought it from a couple getting ready to move. Unfortunately, they did not have the matching chairs, which run $180 new at C&B. At that price, eight chairs will cost almost six times as much as the table. Probably not going to happen. It looks like the table will be lonely until we can find a suitable alternative.
