Since our little family is becoming not-so-little anymore and our old table can only be described as "ancient", we decided to use some of our tax refund to buy a new dining set. We came across this cute, simple set on sale at Shopko. Matt once again put his powered screwdriver I got him for Christmas to work, put it together for us, and voila! Nice, new table and chairs! It's kind of small, but it works perfect for our small apartment. The stable chairs that aren't being held together via cable ties is definitely a plus, too.
This is only the second piece of furniture we've been able to buy new. Everything else we own has either been from a thrift store or been given to us second-hand. It really makes us appreciate the new things we're able to get, so we love our new table!
