YES!
Yes! It is a beautiful all wood table from Finland and 6 matching chairs. The set was brought over to the US in the 50's from a Finnish family. The owner bought the set last year and loves it, but will be moving back to Germany shortly. Which is why they are selling it on Craigslist.
Seriously, dude...if you like something - just buy it. The odds of you stumbling onto something incredibly rare and valuable are slim. The whole chair set costs $100 - which is a deal in and of itself. Even if the chairs ALL need recaning and the table needs refinishing $100 is STILL a deal.
But if I were you I would wait a week or so before I try to flip the same item on Craigslist for a 300% mark-up. People are starting to notice:
