So we found what we thought would be an okay VCR/DVD combo, but as we were looking around, we found some great deals on tables. The first set was some banquet tables that fold in half for better storage. We weren't sure how flat they would lay when out, so we just picked up one since they were 40% off. Then just circling around the store we came to the dining room table area. We found this cherry wood table top with black legs that would coordinate with out kitchen cabinets and black appliances.... and they were 60% off. The table was big enough to seat 6 or more smaller people with the benches, just as we were hoping to find. We just sat there trying to decide whether we should spend the money on the table or not. So we decided to splurge and we bought 2 benches 2 chairs and the table. So we got rung up at the counter and the furniture department worker came and brought all the items up to the front and out to where Chad had pulled his car around. We soon realized that we hadn't planned this well, cause everything wasn't going to fit this time around and the table wouldn't fit in his car, cause his entire back seat doesn't lay down.
No sweat, we just took everything but the kitchen table and said that I'd come back with my car to pick it up as soon as we got home. So as soon as I got home, Chad set out to unload his car and I went back with mine to pick up the table. Well I got some assistance to help me out with the table and we soon found out that the table top was wider than my wheel well. so even though my whole back seat came down, the table still didn't fit. So the Shopko guy and tried to put it in the back seat and it still didn't fit. He told me the only way I was going to get in home with my vehicle would to strap in on the roof of my car. So I let the guy go and I told him that I would have Chad come and help me. So I called Chad and we started to get creative on how we could get it home. I gave a call to Mower's to see if Nick was home with his pick-up, but of coarse he was using to help someone else move at that time. Kim was gracious enough to offer to try her Subaru but wouldn't be able to come right away, because she had a meeting with someone in 10 minutes. So Chad and I decided that strapping the table down might be our only hope. So Chad came back to Shopko with the Tie downs. But when he got there we just couldn't feel good about strapping it to the roof of the car and so again I went through the same things I had done with the Shopko guy, to try and make it fit again.What we finally ended up doing was putting it in the back seat and then had moved the front passenger seat as far forward as it would go and put one corner towards the front, put down the windows in the back left and the front right to let the ends stick out. We still had to tie down the back left door to keep it shut as much as possible and then Chad drove it home with me behind him with the hazards on!!! It was hilarious. And Chad drove it cause I was so embarrassed. I felt like white trash! But what an adventure!!
