I am picking up this teak coffee table at Easter!
The picture makes it look quite red, but in real life it is a natural teak-colour. Hus and I have only really had one coffee table since we have been together; it was a factory-second from Ikea that we found at a liquidation centre. Since we are renovating, we are buying a few pieces of furniture that suit us and our tastes. Hus's stepfather had a teak coffee table with tiles inlaid, like this one, that Hus's sister got. Occasionally, he grumbles that it did not end up with us. When I saw this one at a consignment shop in Coquitlam, I knew that Hus would like it, and made an executive decision to buy it. With taxes, it came to $70.34.
The irony is, that just prior to stopping at this shop, we were at Ikea and were admiring a teak-like coffee table for $279! We couldn't figure out what it was actually made of. For $209 less, I would rather have real wood and something that is more inline with my values. And this will go fabulously with my Eames Chair and teak lamp. You'll have to wait a few weeks until I can post the 'after' pictures.
