IKEA Tables - Surprise!

After shopping all day, Tracey and I settled on these IKEA kitchen tables to use as desks.  They were too country for the IKEA chairs, but when we found these wicker chairs at Ballard Designs we knew we had a good fit.  Because it was the very end of the day we rushed back to IKEA expecting to pick up the two tables and head out. 

To pick up your furniture at IKEA you have to find it in the self serve furniture area.  Everything is organized by Aisles and then Bins.  To add to our confusion the bin numbers were missing on this aisle.  Luckily we had the item number as well so we were able to confirm we had the right table even though - Surprise! - it came with 4 chairs!  Then the dilemma, what to do with the unexpected chairs?  Final decision - college table and chairs for my children's first apartment or if needed extra chairs for parties.  Either way, the chairs were an unexpected bonus.  Which just confirms, Tracey and I have incredible luck when we shop together!
