So, this little end table represents a big success for my bottom line.
About six weeks ago, I stumbled upon it and about three other pieces of furniture (a buffet and two end tables.) Total price tag: $300.
A little bit about the furniture: It was custom designed, solid wood, never-before used and imported from India. If your you'd like to know, that translates into affordable real-world furniture.
How'd we get such a good deal? Facebook marketplace. I connected with a seller there who was closing out a shop in an expensive part of town in one of the biggest cities in the state. Sometimes finding finds that work means buying from an individual with a side hustle, rather than turning to a store, be it an online store or a real, live store.
