I think I may have wheezed from laughing so hard when I spotted this.

It actually looks like the "Tree" Seater and the two seater actually make a sectional...

The whole room is just....."Classy" as the ad says...

Oh, the never-ending joys of CL!

Other CL pearls I stumbled upon in furniture ad headlines:

- Cat seats
- Internment center
- Nice cough

Feel free to decipher!

RE: those particular Disney characters I went to Disney World with my nephews, who were about 4 & 6 at the time. We asked the 4 yo what was his favorite part and he said having his picture taken with ship. What ship? He replied in a how could you be so stupid way: Ship, Dale's brother Still makes me snicker and he's 24 now. Sorry, no CL stories to share.

You know what is weird. I have no drawers at all in my bedroom now. Just some bins in a closet. And this is really cool - the 12 drawer has gradated sizing of the drawers. They get about a half inch taller each row down. You can see it on three center ones at the bottom of the picture. And I like the pulls on the center tier. They look like a key is inserted in an ornate lock. Yes, I will likely paint. I am conflicted because the finish is in good condition, but I am not keen on the yellow and gold. I have time to think it over.

I found this one to be quite funny. This guy hopefully didn't quit his day job to become a salesman!! Really, really ugly coffee table - $5 (77065 Cy Fair) Okay, this coffee table is ugly. It's REALLY ugly. I can't even believe I'm trying to sell it, it's so ugly. But it's also VERY sturdy. You can sit on it without even worrying about it collapsing beneath you. It'd be really a great thing for someone who just needs SOMETHING to put a big TV on, who wants to bedazzle furniture, or who doesn't want to send the "good" old coffee table to college with her son. I mean, hey, we all need some utility furniture at one time or another, right? Maybe you even want it to refinish it and sell it for megabucks... I promise I won't judge you for buying it if you won't judge me for having it to sell in the first place!We will be home tonight (Sunday) between 6 and 8 if you want to come see it. If you can't come then, just drop me a line and let me know whenuld be a better time for you, and we'll work it out.Ã¯Â¿Â½Disclaimers: As is. Cash money only. No refunds. No phone calls, please; email contacts only.Ã¯Â¿Â½

From the EPA: "While freezing can kill bed bugs, temperatures must remain very low for a long time. Home freezers are usually not cold enough to kill bed bugs. Putting things outside in freezing temperatures can kill bed bugs, but it can take several days when the temperature is 0ÃÂ° F and almost a week when the temperature is 20ÃÂ° F." Someone else suggested to ask the seller point blank: "Do you have bed bugs while looking them in the eye." I'd also say it may not be only a question of "nice" neighborhood but also of region in the country.

Bee- that CL poster from Harrisburg has posted similar furniture on the Baltimore CL off and on for a couple of years now. Different colors, similar style, always looks like the same room. It is a bit scary that this is not a one time opportunity!

I was saving this for the next ugly CL couch thread but...

"Plush gold love seat with plastic mirror. Mirror has some dings but other than that it is in good shape." Yikes.

Oh, marcolo, I'm soooo glad you helped us with the pronunciation. I'm dying here from laughing so hard!!! That love seat looks like it had a little too much, ahem, love going on.

Oh brother.....

They must have spent a lot of time in IT-ly because here is another set from a High End Furniture store in Itly. And, I'm sorry to tell you, the coffee table is NOT for sale.

Someone should tell them they overpaid for it originally and really should stop going to Itly to buy furniture.

Bee & cooper that same poster also posts on York's CL. Several years ago I was looking for furniture for our second home and thought I could find some nice things on CL, which I actually did. This guy was a regular poster, and I always wondered if anyone actually bought that stuff!
