Happy birthday, billytea!

Heh. I know that my mom is bored and also good at research, so I emailed her to ask if she wanted a project, and sent a link to an IKEA table that was almost what I wanted, but not quite, and asked if she could find one that was what I wanted. She responded with a bunch of links -- two of them seem promising, but still not quite right -- and then asked if there are any Amish carpenters near me. So now I think she's trying to figure out if Amish carpenters will make custom tables, and if so, if they advertise this fact online.

Anyone have suggestions for where to look for mid-range furniture? Stuff made of real wood, not particle board, but not hugely expensive. I've tried IKEA, West Elm, Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn, Sears, Macy's, JC Penney, and Bed Bath & Beyond, and most of them had something similar to what I wanted, but not quite right. Any other places I should look?

There's something very funny about the idea of an amish carpenter having a website...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Isn't that how he celebrated Mother's Day, too?

Good point. I'm going to tell him that he needs to come up with some new material.

Sigh. Absolutely, exactly, perfectly the table that I want: [link] For $650 plus shipping from California. I can maybe pay as much as $300 or so for something that's perfect, but $650 is just way too much.

Hil, try Gothic Cabinet Craft - I don't know how much they charge for shipping outside NYC, but that's where my kitchen table is from.

Not literally, I hope.

Thanks, Jess. I took a look, and they don't have quite what I'm looking for.

I've got a bit of free time on Thursday. Maybe I'll take a look at some furniture stores and antique stores then. I really should stop looking now, though, because my ankle is hurting and it's just making me annoyed at everything.

Hil, is the important factor style or size?
