Old Wood Folding Chairs

So I should change my "thirft storing and garage sale-ing" tag to "thrift storing, garage sale-ing and garbage picking".

Last year I took 3 old wood folding chairs out of my neighbors garbage since I liked them and I could also use extra seating at parties, bbq's etc. But as much as I liked them I didn't take very good care of them since they were "trash". I left them outside in the rain after a bbq once and they got wet and the backs got all warped and one actually lost it's back. And I have had them stored in my super gross garage.

So I came across an Etsy email awhile ago selling chairs just like them for $90! yikes! I doubt mine are worth that much, but it made me realize I should take better care of them. I tried to find some for sale still, but none like mine are available right now.

I did find this post on Apartment Therapy where someone got them for $35.

So this weekend I got them out of the garage, evicted the spiders, cleaned them up and stored them in the basement instead. The basement is less gross only in comparison, and easier to grab for parties.

Here is the label, but you can't really read it.
