Ever imagine that you could be like Denny Hastert and plop your big, stinky feet up on a fine piece of wood at the end of a hard day at work? Well, now your fantasy can be a reality! From Craigslist:

This coffee table came from the US congress, and is a political collectible as well as fine furniture. It still has the US House of Representatives inventory tag. It is in good condition, with a little light normal wear that I’ve touched up. It is in very respectable condition, but not perfect. It measures about 42 x 20 inches, 17 ½ inches tall. It has brass fittings on the bottoms of the legs.

Congress generally buys high quality things. This was with, and seemed to match, other congressional fine furniture made by Drexel or Drexel-Heritage (very upscale makers), but the manufacturer’s label is missing from this table. (I am also selling a wood computer table marked “Drexel”, also from congress.)
This congressional coffee table is a bargain at just $35.

Call (703)-266-3921 (use voicemail and ask for Charlie. Sometimes I screen calls, but I’ll pick up if I’m there). Or, email me at charlieclyon@yahoo.com. (Telephone preferred.)

Just one beef, Charlie: Congress generally buys high quality things? Like the war in Iraq? Let’s just hope the table lasts longer than the war. Happy bidding.
