| | I found this table and chair set on Craigslist last night:
It is the tulip table I said I had been wanting when I found that other table a couple months ago. I found it just an hour or so after it had been listed. The guy selling it said he had be inundated with calls about it and that he had been offered more than he was asking. So I zipped down to the ATM and headed over to his apartment. It isn't in the "perfect" condition he had said it was in his listing, but still quite nice. The chairs are fiberglass and the bases are metal. The table top is a white laminate of some sort. Everything but the table top had been repainted. I think it is an earlier "knock off" of the expensive original. The "tulip" table and chairs were designed by Eero Saarinen in 1957. "The underside of typical chairs and tables makes a confusing, unrestful world," explained Saarinen. "I wanted to clear up the slum of legs."  |

In my case, though, since that table is usually littered with not finished reading yet dailies, magazines and other paraphernalia, the third chair is absolutely essential as it makes a very handy place to push everything in when I have a guest dropping in for a meal. The problems start when I have two guests.
