When we moved into our home five years ago we brought the furniture and accessories that we had used in our former home. We moved from a 10 year old country home into a 100 year old lake home, so some of the accessories needed to be changed. Our lake home features oak trim throughout the house. We decided that we needed to replace our maple occasional tables with oak coffee tables.
Our maple tables were in good shape. Our neighbor was having a garage sale so we placed our tables on the sale. We did not have room for them in our house if we were going to be buying oak coffee tables. One of the shoppers at the garage sale purchased the tables for the price we were asking. We would use this money to help pay for the new oak coffee tables.
Our neighbor suggested checking at a large unclaimed freight warehouse that is located close to our house. The warehouse handles a great deal of furniture and is reasonably priced. I had passed the warehouse many times but had never shopped there. I was surprised at the amount and variety of merchandise that they carried. The largest section of the warehouse was filled with furniture. The furniture was name brand and could be custom ordered in what ever upholstery you wanted. The furniture was greatly reduced in price. The warehouse buys out merchandise from stores that are going out of business and resells it.
I found a large selection of oak coffee tables in a variety if shapes and sizes. One style was a replica of an antique table that my grandmother used to own. I thought the style would fit in well with the age of our home, and would compliment the woodwork and existing furniture. I purchased two of the oak coffee tables as well as a matching lamp stand for the living room area. I had the choice to take the purchases with me in boxes which would involve assembling the legs once I got home, or they would deliver the tables already assembled. The sales clerk showed me the simple assembly that would be required. I decided that we could assemble the tables at home. They loaded the tables in my SUV.
My husband and I were able to assemble the oak coffee tables in a matter of minutes. They match the woodwork very well. By purchasing the tables at the warehouse and doing our own assembly we were able to save a great deal of money. I know I will be making many other purchases from the warehouse in the future.
