hand-me-down

For show & tell, my least favorite piece of furniture. Not a hard choice. The first thing I will replace. It does have a good story, though, because it came to me from Bee & Soph's parents, who got it when they were married. After they upgraded, it sat on their back patio. And molded. And the hinges rusted (the sides swing down, why? why? Who would ever want to make it so tiny?) And it needs to be refinished, except it's not worth refinishing. See?



And one of the legs is wobbly, so the whole thing isn't very sturdy and you have to be careful moving it. Four people can barely squeeze around it, but you can really only pull two chairs up to it at a time because of the way the legs are arranged. The other two chairs just hover near the table. But this is what happens when you buy a nice couch - you put up with the crappy table. It serves its purpose.
