We've had ours for 3 years and it had held up well. We don't eat at it very often but I do think it scratches pretty easily. It's not the highest quality - but definitely very heavy and worth the price! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-find-this-table#post-1065363 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 15:22:53 +0000 Raindrop 1065363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Here is my story :) I think we were just "lucky", We were looking at a new couches for a while but nothing really seemed to fit what we wanted and the price we could afford even with haggling at some places.</p> <p>We walked in to Ashelys and was greeted right away by a sales lady, she asked what we were looking for and our price range. I think she really liked us because a lot of times she said oh this couch is going to be this much... but I can give you a better deal. We wanted an L shaped couch for less than 1500. We found a sectional create your own with a side couch, love seat, cuddlier and ottoman and it was going to be 1600 but she asked her manager to have it for 1300, she said she wanted to leave a buffer for him to push back up but he was fine with 1350. So we got it, it was the best price we came by for what we wanted and more!</p> <p>We actually went back to get a dinning table too. We got the same sales lady and we found a table we liked, it was listed for 1200 table with 4 chairs... we were able to haggle it down to 900 dollars for a table and 6 chairs. :)</p> <p>The prices are really marked up. I just looked online for prices and the couch we actually got at a good price but the table set it looks like I can get for 500 dollars (table + 4 chairs) online from a non-ashely's website.</p> <p>It never hurts to haggle I think. :)</p> <p>@locavore_mama: Sorry for hi-jacking your thread! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-find-this-table#post-1064174 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 09:06:48 +0000 regberadaisy 1064174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: hm. That is a VERY good point! And I love the look of dining table without a tablecloth.....definitely something to consider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-find-this-table#post-1064170 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 09:05:06 +0000 Mae 1064170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I think it is solid wood-- it is certainly very heavy! We've had it about 3.5 years and it seems to be holding up well, although honestly we don't eat at the table every night or anything. But spills wipe up and it hasn't gotten scratched at all yet. My only real complaint is that the ridges between the boards are annoying. They get crumbs in there EVERY MEAL and so after every meal i have to wipe down the table and run my finger nail through every crack to get all the crumbs out. Might be extra-annoying with kids. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-find-this-table#post-1064165 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 09:02:18 +0000 looch 1064165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: You are smarter than me, woman! I paid full retail on my dining table and chairs, couch, chair, bedroom set, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-find-this-table#post-1064163 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 09:01:39 +0000 regberadaisy 1064163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: @Ash: how long have you had that table? Is it holding up pretty well? Is it solid wood? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-find-this-table#post-1064162 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 09:01:08 +0000 regberadaisy 1064162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I definitely see your point. But to me a furniture, flooring store, etc where there is a sales person making some kind of commission is a little different. :)<br /> Every piece of furniture in our house we got a deal on! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-find-this-table#post-1064161 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 09:00:02 +0000 Mae 1064161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: haha-- we have the same table! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-find-this-table#post-1064158 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 08:59:35 +0000 looch 1064158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: It didn't even occur to me! </p> <p>I did negotiate better deals from my painter, electrician and pretty much anyone that works on my house, so I guess, for me a furntiure store is like a clothes store. I don't bring my purchases up to the counter at Banana Republic and tell them my best offer, you know what I mean? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-find-this-table#post-1064150 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 08:57:52 +0000 regberadaisy 1064150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I would/did negotiate at EA! hahaha I pretty much haggle everything. It's in my nature.</p> <p>@LaughLines: thanks! But that's counter height. :) Our current table is counter and we want to go back to standard height. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-find-this-table#post-1064122 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 08:48:01 +0000 LaughLines 1064122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This one seats 8 (only comes with 6 chairs at this price, but you can buy two more - the table fits it)<br /> <a href="http://www.weekendsonly.com/index/page/product/product_id/1582/category_id/25/product_name/Rustic+7+Pc.+Counter+Height+Set" rel="nofollow">http://www.weekendsonly.com/index/page/product/product_id/1582/category_id/25/product_name/Rustic+7+Pc.+Counter+Height+Set</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-find-this-table#post-1064118 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 08:46:21 +0000 LindsayInNY 1064118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Hmm. I just bought from Thomasville (cc @looch:) and Safavieh. They're not large stores but not really small ones either? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-find-this-table#post-1064109 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 08:44:40 +0000 looch 1064109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is news to me, on negotiating with furniture stores!</p> <p>I've bought from Ethan Allen and Thomasville, but the EA stuff was custom, and the fabric choices are what killed me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-find-this-table#post-1064105 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 08:42:36 +0000 regberadaisy 1064105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I don't think it would apply to bigger stores like Pottery Barn, Pier 1, Restoration Hardware, Crate &amp; Barrel, etc. But "smaller" furniture stores like Ashley, Value City Furniture, etc absolutely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-find-this-table#post-1064099 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 08:39:23 +0000 LindsayInNY 1064099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Is this the case for all furniture stores?! We've bought a TON of things lately, all during big sales. But have never tried to negotiate? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-find-this-table#post-1064088 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 08:36:24 +0000 regberadaisy 1064088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: LOL! Yes! Well, not IKEA obviously. But any other yes. Just negotiate like you will for anything else. The prices are HUGELY marked up. They also will likely give discounts if you're buying more than one item. Or tout that you will be a repeat customer because you're redoing say your whole bedroom. You might not be able to get a new wardrobe set now but in a few months you might. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-find-this-table#post-1064081 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 08:33:42 +0000 mrs. wagon 1064081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: @locavore_mama: you can negotiate with furniture stores??? Please elaborate!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-find-this-table#post-1063978 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 07:46:40 +0000 regberadaisy 1063978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: thanks!

The guy told us their prices are "factory direct" so they don't negotiate. We walked right out. ;)maybe they have changed their policy? But good to know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-find-this-table#post-1062799 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 15:24:27 +0000 Raindrop 1062799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Ashley Furniture doesn't negotiate? Ours did. :) We just bought our couch and dinning table there and our sales rep was super nice and negotiated for us because she liked us and told us personally that there is always room for negotiation and we got a super deal on our stuff! Anyways FYI. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-find-this-table#post-1062699 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 14:47:14 +0000 Ash 1062699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: <a href="http://www.wayfair.com/Signature-Design-by-Ashley-Willow-Dining-Table-D442-45-L147-K~GNT2764.html?refid=GX21919226940-GNT2764&#038;device=c&#038;gclid=CJKb_Zf_r7kCFek7MgodtB0A3A" rel="nofollow">http://www.wayfair.com/Signature-Design-by-Ashley-Willow-Dining-Table-D442-45-L147-K~GNT2764.html?refid=GX21919226940-GNT2764&#038;device=c&#038;gclid=CJKb_Zf_r7kCFek7MgodtB0A3A</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-find-this-table#post-1062657 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 14:28:17 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1062657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pottery Barn makes a table similar that seats up to 12. It's a bit more rustic looking though. And more expensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-find-this-table#post-1062654 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 14:27:56 +0000 Ash 1062654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: we got ours at homemakers so it was cheaper than the Ashley store. You can check their outlets if you have one nearby. We got ours 3yrs ago so it could very well be cheaper now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-find-this-table#post-1062651 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 14:25:40 +0000 regberadaisy 1062651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: oh good to know!!!

Only problem is we need it to seat 8 at a minimum then expand to more with a leaf. Or at least seat 8 with a leaf. This only seats 6 with a leaf.</p> <p>Please HELP! We love the plank top in particular. :)</p> <p><a href="http://www.wayfair.com/Welton-USA-Charles-6-Piece-Dining-Set-F240-6BE-WON1810.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.wayfair.com/Welton-USA-Charles-6-Piece-Dining-Set-F240-6BE-WON1810.html</a></p> <p>[attach=1325/13/mskdas.506x380.Capture.JPG] </p>
