Hi Stone and Mad.
Bear...take the set with table. Now you have a spare table. Just don't store it near the water leaking pipe thing or the water leaking roof thing.

There is absolutely no spare room in this house. None.
Now... if I lived alone, it would be a completely different story. I *LOVE* "spartan". I *LOVE* having room.
I can predict what will happen:
I'll go out and buy a whole new set with the intention of putting the old stuff at the curb just to get it OUT of the house. But I will be stymied by "someone" who will think we should keep it "because you never know". Then I will go apoplectic.
I guess we can stick with the old stuff for another 28 years. ::sigh::

The water-leaking pipe thing is in a crawl space under the 2-season room (Spring and Fall).
The water-leaking roof thing is right up against a basement wall that has a DIFFERENT "because you never know" table right there. Plus, the water-leaking roof thing happened in 2007 and then in 2014. It's not like the house is a sieve and/or shambles. Oh... and I installed 80 feet of ice melt wiring this past Saturday... which is COMING DOWN/OUT in the Spring... and back on again in the Fall because, well, it looks like ....

Bear, is there no hope for the chairs you have?? They can be repaired and refinished if they are wood and not "wood products glued together."
The main problem with them is the upholstery. It meets "my" definition of "filthy" and I have tried cleaning it via various methods to no satisfactory avail. It's also non-removable. I SUPPOSE they could be sent out, 2 at a time, for a professional cleaning. But really, they ARE 28 years old. It's time... and the set is not "heirloom" quality.
Yup, definitely considering a CAT scan for the mellon...I could've sworn I typed what you meant. Mayhaps my fingers are possessed by demonic gremlin souls.
I was going to just type, "Bear, I'll take the free table!" But I have absolutely NO room in the house.

Hi Snail trail people! Bear...that's why our house is full of antique furniture. It's already 80 to 100 years old so...if it looks crappy well...it's supposed to. After all...it's old. Annnnnnd...you need MY rule. If something comes into the house...something leaves the house. DW would have the house so packed with furniture and crap we wouldn't be able to move. So when she goes with her Mother "antique shopping" and picks up something new...she has to pick something to get rid of.

I still think you'd save a lot of time and running around if ya'd let Geoff stay in the house.
Contrary to the rampant stereotype, I do not "do" antiques.
Some stuff here may be old... but nothing is "antique".
Except me.
