Owning a house to be called ours, Home is the goal my husband and I have worked on for years. Lucky are those who had after or maybe before their marriage, but ordinary people like us need to build from scratch. We've been married for four years, yet, it's only this year we accomplished the construction. Things weren't in our favor for the past years, plus the pandemic happened. Thus, after all the struggles and sacrifices, I am glad we made it.
Now, I am excited to purchase some home furniture's! I did some online shopping yet and inquired about some that I like, but I prefer to see them in actual. So when I went home, I decided to check the displayed item in the nearest furniture shop in town.
It was my first time in the place, and I was glad my sister-in-law accompanied me. The building looked already old, and even the alley. Yet, the management tried making it appealing to customers, so they added this decoration using umbrellas.
I was eyeing a couch and dining table as these are the basic needs in our home.
This dining set quickly caught my attention. My wall paint was beige with an accent of brown, so I thought this was perfect. Thus when I checked, the price cost almost $425! Wewww! As much as I wanted this, my pocket couldn't!
A six-seater made of Malaysian wood, and the price was only $258! The color was okay since it was black. Quite easy to mix and match with other furniture. Then the mall staff approached me, and we talked about the price. He said it was currently on sale as the original price was $338. They also offered to deliver the items; I just needed to pay the delivery fee, which cost $5.
It was already an excellent offer, but I still needed to get a budget. So I told him I would be back probably next week. Yet, he insisted that I get his contact number to ask him if I have inquiries.

When I was finally able to come up with the budget, I chatted with the staff at the furniture shop and was surprised when he offered an additional discount. He mentioned that the item would be purchased in their main warehouse, which was cheaper than the showroom. Also, he would buy it using an employee discount. Also, the delivery fee is free. From $258, I paid only $215. The offer was too good to be true, so I am in doubt. Thankful it was not a scam, as I received the item in good condition!
The box was sealed correctly. Yes, only in a box, as you still need to assemble the chairs and tables. You don't have to worry as it comes with a manual with instructions and illustrations.
In my case, he assembled it upon delivery. He just asked for help to assist him since he was alone.
And here is the cute little Boss who kept messing with us, my husband's nephew and my godson. He loved to tag along with me whenever I went home, maybe because I bribed him with some treats.
It was easy to assemble those chairs, but not too easy! I thought it was, but when I tried, it was not. So it took us a while before we were done. Here are the final products.
I didn't remove the plastic covering the chairs since I am not yet staying in our house. So I don't need to clean it from time to time.
Apology if you find the photos not in focus, my house was still in a mess, so I had to crop the subject. hehe
