Proudmama: Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for in a light maple. Puppy farms? Egads, just another category of purchases to feel guilty about.... I can't buy anything from China without a twinge of guilt either.... Ellen: Thanks for the insight into Amish business practices. I'm glad they've found a way to survive and still hold their belief system together. I admire those people for their lifestyle and discipline. Thanks again for all of the replies!

I don't know where you live, but I just checked the Maine Craigslist and saw this cutie on the bottom left (opened view) and for $45, looks quite nice! Seller says "drop leaf mahogany is 21'' long 17'' wide and 22'' tall that is when it is open very nice 45.00 thank you" Here is a link that might be useful: Maine Craigslist

Why yes, I does :). I have a black coffee table with a lot of brown in the room. Leather couch/chairs and wooden tables and miscellaneous pieces like the tv shelf. My table is from Thomasville. Here's the advertisement version: I've got a couple of pictures that show it in my room, though not all that well. Here they are: Another angle: I think it all works fine. I will add that the wood accent pieces in the LR tend to the tobacco/darker range. I don't have light wood or leather in there. Hope this helps, Ann

I moved to OKC in 1998, and was looking for plant info in 99. Then moved to Tahlequah in 2002 and joined. Looked in at the KT, but there was much bickering... and it took a bit before I joined. It was before paying was needed. Then, when it went to pay I changed my name to OklaMoni, and am here ever since. I met a lot of KT'ers over the years, and love it here. I also check the Oklahoma Gardening forum, and some times the cooking forum. Ever once in a while when I am bored I check other forums, but I am here every day. :) Moni
