We Returned a Table to its Former Glory!

It was an experience, but it was worth it!

I made a purchase in November on Facebook Marketplace, which has proved to be rewarding. In a previous article, I mentioned I had two rooms I needed to fill, one of them being our dining room.

The dining room had a color that needed to go, and my wife was quick to make this happen. My task was finding a table and getting it done as the holidays were fast approaching. I searched the usual sites, which included Wayfair, Overstock, Pottery Barn, and the list goes on. My wife and I even visited the local furniture stores. While the selections were decent, the lead times were not. January would be the soonest to obtain a table to satisfy our needs. We did not want to settle.

Out of frustration, and probably at the inspiration of watching too many DIY channels, I jumped on Facebook Marketplace. It amazes me the amount of furniture you can find on there. I found no less than ten options the same day, and I couldn’t believe my luck when I happened upon a post with this write-up:

I have heard of the fabled “divorce sale,” and now it was a reality for me. Not to mention the table came with all of the chairs. I quickly reached out asking if it was available and immediately sent out my intent to pay the $800. My spirits soared when this came back.
