For $50, this beige chair is a steal. The poster says the arms are marked with a few scratches but it still looks to be in good condition. I’d consider recovering it with a bright, graphic fabric. With a new slipcover, it could look great in a living room or den.
More good finds:
• Oval wooden table from Pottery Barn for $300 • Antique-looking mirror for $150 • Four wrought-iron chairs and a square table for $200 • Red couch from Pier One for $115 • Retro sofa and chair for $200 Thanks, Craig!

This set of outdoor furniture would be a great addition to a back-yard deck or patio. Made to look like weathered iron, the set includes a rectangular glass-top table, four stationary chairs, two swivel rockers, and six seat cushions. Now all you need is a grill. Price: $400.
More good finds:
• Brown leather arm chair from Ikea for $250 • Drop-leaf wooden table for $90 • Oak coffee table with a lower shelf for storage for $75 • Pair of black metal lamps with white shades for $100 • Two unopened Ikea Poäng chairs with cushions for $75 each
Thanks, Craig!

Bring a little funk into your living space with these mercury glass globe lamps from the 1960s. The lamps each stand 33 inches tall and are going for $90 for the pair. You could update the pieces with a bold shade from Anthropologie or South Moon Under. Very groovy.
More great finds:
• Wood table for $25 • Antique dressers for $75 • Wooden coffee and end tables for $50 • Two chairs for $50
Thanks, Craig!
