Shop Till You Drop! Yeah. I know you're not supposed to shop online using company resources. But, if you're going to do it, you may as well save some money.

Overstock, snooze you loose?

Dammit. I'm trying to buy this:



and two of these:



on Overstock.

http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2....dU3A&cid=17359


Add the inviting warmth of solid mahogany to your decor with the casual and sturdy Craftsman end table.

This Craftsman table has a smooth non-tempered beveled glass top and a slatted storage shelf underneath--perfect for storing magazines and coasters. Our table also boasts subtle wood inlay details, and has a charming light cherry finish.


Fantastic deal. The coffee table is $129.00, the end tables are $99.00 each and everything ships for $1. I'm really happy with the chairs I bought from them a few months ago.

The coffee table won't load in my cart. I've been trying for half an hour now. I think they are out of stock even though I'm not getting an out of stock message, it just won't load in. Everything else goes in fine.

Got a promo email Thursday A.M. I wanted them immediately, but I emailed DH to make sure he liked them. By the time I got an email back (he loves them, buy!) , I was in the middle of a bunch of stuff at work.... and this is the first chance I've had to buy.

Dammit. What a deal. I think I missed out. I hope they restock.

Do I want the end tables without the coffee table....huh. Have to wait for Don to wake up and ask him.

Andrea

I tried to see what would happen for me and can't get the table to come up....just the side tables.

Well, the console table loads for me but I think your coffee table is different and I still don't see it

Well, a dollar shipping and no sales tax. I couldn't resist.

I just bought this:



Hope it arrives before we leave on vacation.

Haven't decided. I'll either get rid of my desk in the dining room and put this there instead; or I might put it where that little bookcase is between the dining and living rooms. (And then get rid of the desk in the dining room and replace it with some really tall, nice bookshelves.)

Good idea! Did you check out overstocks.com for nice bookshelves?

Re: Overstock, snooze you loose?

They don't seem to have book shelves. But I saw some I really liked at Ethan Allen.

They'll be *cough* a bit more expensive than this armoire.

I'll shop around a bit.

Re: Overstock, snooze you loose?



There's been some shopping going on whilst I was corporate moving.

I'm too tired to try to buy the coffee table again. Tomorrow AM after coffee.

FWIW, the dining room chairs I bought from Overstock were exactly what they were... a good bargain that wasn't cheesy and was considerably less than I could find elsewhere.

Ethan Allen Good deal, yes.

Thanks anyway.

Re: Overstock, snooze you loose?

The computer desk arrived, but we probably won't get to put it together until we get back from vacation.
