Thrift’d // C Table Score
I headed out yesterday for a few minutes of “ME” time while Pop Pop (my dad) watched the littles. I decided to make my weekly trip to Goodwill as it’s much easier without little hands grabbing everything off the shelf. Moms, you know what I am talking about.
I was getting slightly disappointed as the loot seemed to be a bit Eh this week & then I spotted this…
I did a casual glance as to not look too interested… you have to do the dance, otherwise someone will come along & grab it. While glancing I saw that this bad boy was only $9… I know. I shared it on Instagram, but before anyone could answer my #yayornay question, I scooped it up, well technically I hoisted. This thing is heavy!
Even though there are no manufacturer markings I can almost guarantee this table originally went for no less than $250. The quality is fantastic. A lot of times, the less expensive ones can be a little flimsy & easy to tip over. Not this one.
This is called a C Table & is basically a fancier version of the foldable TV Tray in my opinion. These tables are quite functional & are great for a chaise or a sectional where tables are hard to pull up. For our house, it is fantastic for Chloe. It’s a place to land her milk & eat a snack since the ottoman doesn’t allow any of these. It also makes a great space for “researching” aka magazine/catalog reading during a quiet nap time.
Just imagine it over a great new sofa in gray linen, not this brown thing. At least that’s what I am picturing in the long run….
The best part of the table is the wood inlay top. It’s pretty spectacular.
I’m thinking of doing a little video montage of my next thrifting trip… would ya’ll watch?!?

So versatile! It's a great little table:)
Great deal! This table is beautiful. I can't believe you got it for $9!

Holy cow! Now that's a find. Ubber jealous right now.
Great find – I remember my parents having tables like these growing up but this one is awesome with that wood top.
Video? Yes. I love your find too. π
Awesome find! That top is pretty sweet!
Love the table. Thrifting is an art and takes practice. I would totally watch a video. Love your taste. Keep it up!
dude, a video of your cute face? of course!
Wow…and for $9 bucks?! Very cool π
Gorgeous! What a great find. And for a STEAL!
I do the same thing….my mom takes my kids and I go to the Goodwill…only none of my stores ever have much furniture at all so I'm usually doing clothes. I KNOW what you're talking about with not taking the littles with you!!!!! GREAT score and $9?!?!??!!? Seriously my stores never have anything that cool….
Great find! I'd say the price is definitely right. I LOVE the pillows on your sofa ~ LOVE black and white! Did you make them?
