Never mind. Butt ugly is butt ugly. But(t), I'm glad those chairs found a new home.<br /><br />Funny thing is, I've seen people completely ignore stuff marked "free" because they don't think it's worth anything, but if the same object has a minimal price on it, they snatch it up and think they got a real deal.

I felt your agony about letting something sentimental, but completely unusable, go. I also felt your pain when no one bought them. But, the best was your own revelation about what they were: butt ugly. And that is always free. hahahaha.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-35917688484549640332013-10-07T11:59:16.421-04:002013-10-07T11:59:16.421-04:00I second Dianne!
