Antique Drafting Table Craig's List Score!

I have been wanting an antiques drafting table to use as a desk in my office for awhile now. I first fell in love with the idea when I saw this in Restoration Hardware.


It is now on sale for $795 which is still a bit pricey for me. You can imagine my excitement when my husband Brian (yep, I'm giving him credit for this one) found this one on Craig's List for $100!! We went yesterday evening to pick it up.






















If you're interested in getting one of these for yourselves, they're all over the internet! I haven't found one for less $100 but you me be able to. The best deal I found was $225 for this one from Griffins & Gargoyles:


Or if you have buku bucks, you can get one of these from 1st Dibs:


This one is being sold by Deja Neu for $595 (though that's still a decent deal compared to Restoration Hardware)



Or this one from Tom Gibbs Studio for $1250:
The prices only go up from there, most of them being around $3,000 - $4,000.

I'll share some photos when I have my office "up and running"  :)
