IKEA Inconvenience and Score on Chairs:
I've been looking for a dining table and chairs for the longest time. I knew what looking I wanted; but I couldn't find it on Craigslist (my recommended go-to for budget-conscious shoppers like myself). I knew I wanted a rectangular, dark stained modern table with clean lines. Of course, I saw at Room and Board and other high-end furniture retailers; but I didn't have much luck finding decent "copies" at something friendlier to my wallet. I finally decided to go with the IKEA Bjursta table. LONG story short, FOUR trips back to IKEA for missing parts (and a $25 gift card for my inconvenience) later, I was finally able to put the table together and this is what it looks like. It was a huge headache but it ended up looking pretty good.
The chairs were a score I found on CL. $100 for the set! I plan to reupholster and I'm not sure whether or not I want to paint the wood; but these were what I was looking for! Swwweeet!
Oh-the burgundy rug has since been removed..it didn't really match my decor!
