I had a tight budget of 100 euro to buy a table and chairs for the garden. And I came extremely close to buying a cheap dining set in my local Woodies, you know the ones, glass topped tiny table and 4 chairs that would blow over with the slightest gust of wind! I think I went on 3 seperate occasions to buy it, and every time I left empty handed............. and I'm so glad I did, because I found this fab table for sale at 50 euro on an irish website.
I didn't even haggle on the price, I just fell in love with it, paid for it, and nearly broke my legs carrying it across a field, and then my back lifting it onto the van, all the while with a giant smile on my face! I just couldn't believe how lucky I was, my table had been advertised for months on this website without a single offer......
Once I got it home, all it needed was a light sanding on top and 3 coats of Ronseal varnish in Mahogany.
Next on the list is a bench to go against the wall, and maybe a few chairs in front, will have to see how far I can stretch the remaining 50 euro........
