At Crate and Barrel “distressed” dinning tables that look more used than the ones at Value Village are worth $1200 each, what?!?! I mean the Swedish perfection’s from Ikea with no flaws are only $150… Then I saw, buy a table and C&B are offering 20% off to “stock the bar”…well played C&B, well played indeed.
A very late update… so we did in fact need a new table, thus the reason for the above “gem”, and we got one but not from Ikea or C&B but rather Pottery Barn. Yes despite Kramer’s hate for PB, and I do whole heartedly trust Kramer’s judgment, and despite PB being just as pricy (normally) as C&B we went with a distressed table. You’ll be happy to know that due to the wife’s amazing ability to sniff out a sale from across town we did indeed pay Ikea type pricing for a C&B looking table… the best of both worlds huzah!
