New Coffee Table

Justin and I went to Big Lots the other day to look for something. I like that store because it's really cheap, and I know it's not the best quality most of the time but buying small things there really can save money. So, we didn't find what we were originally looking for, but we explored the furniture section just for fun and tried out some of their comfy couches. We saw one HUGE coffee table that was on sale for really really really cheap because it required assembly and the manufacturer forgot to include instructions. We thought about buying it, but we didn't. All night long we thought about this coffee table because our other one was really small and ugly. So, the next day we went back and bought it.
It took us three hours to figure out how to put it together. We even had to drill extra holes that the manufacturer didn't pre-drill. In the end it turned out beautiful though. It's probably not the nicest coffee table we could have gotten, but it's definitely the cheapest and since I really like it and it's not yucky laminate furniture, I'm really happy with it.
It's gigantic though, just a few inches smaller than our kitchen table! In the future we'll have to buy a really big couch to go with it.
