Out it goes. . .

High-top table set as seen on Craigslist.
Steve and Denise liked it.
Two years ago we bought a nice high-top kitchen set that we thought was perfect for our eat-in kitchen area. It was. We enjoyed the tall chairs, big boy size table. It was fun.
We got tired of it last week and put it on Craigslist. Denise and Steve from Plymouth immediately emailed us to say they'd like to own the set, and next thing you know, Steve was on his knees in our living room, taking our long-legged table apart so it would fit into their Durango.
Out  it goes, and so we're here, cash in hand -- with no place to set our cornflakes.
Now what?
Steve and his tool kit.
Just the right socket to remove the 36" legs
We're shopping for a deuce, a small restaurant- size table-for-two. That will leave room for two big easy chairs for Mama Bear and Papa Bear to relax, watch tv and use the area for more of a family room than a breakfast nook.
We'll serve company in the dining room, whenever.
By the way, Denise and Steve actually didn't want the counter-height table for themselves. They have an aunt who has remodeled her kitchen and they helpfully figured that this would be the perfect thing for her, but they couldn't get a hold of her to confirm that before making the deal.
So if you're liking the looks of this set, you just might check out Craigslist. Last we heard, Denise and Steve's aunt said she wasn't so sure about any of this.
Proud Owners
Nice table, nice people.
