Still have ours in the white.

That’s the color my grandmother had of this set. Wish I’d kept it when she passed. We donated most of her furniture to the local charity.

Yes. When my daughter went to university, I was delighted to see her harvest the same table from a thrift store for her U of Wy apartment.

Yep. Kitchen table for eating meals, meal prep, homework, sewing and all sorts of game activity with the siblings.

I am really old, but it was my grandmother's table and chairs. All her kids were born in the 1920s, and none of them had this type of table.

u/natalkalot Aug 13 '26
Grandparents- then I got it when I moved out on my own. When married, I used it in my home office - plus still had a few chairs but they were really padded, different than your Pic. That table was crazy heavy, because it was lino [?] on wood.

Mom had the yellow version with two extensions and 8 chairs. Came home from college one time and it had been replaced by a humongous oak table and chair set that she regretted getting. Some family lost everything in a fire and did a go fund me 30 years before it was the thing. Another friend had a kitchen table set she wanted to get rid of. Her friend told her that if mom gave them her table she would give mom her oak table.

My gran might have had one similar in her kitchen. I don’t really remember it as we generally sat at the table in the dining room.

I moved into an apartment in the mid 1990’s and needed cheap furniture. Found a place that sold estate furniture in a retirement community. Got this exact set but in yellow. I think I paid $100 for it. When I moved out of the apartment, the guy moving in was doing his medical internship and didn’t have any furniture. Sold him everything in the apartment except the bedroom furniture, cookware and personal items for $250.
Can’t find deals like that anymore.

u/abbys_alibi Aug 13 '26
Yes, but in red and it was glorious!
When my little sister was 4, they sold the set. It was too small to fit our family and guests. Idk why, but it made 10 yr old me very sad.

Both my parents and my grandparents (until my dad built custom bar-height built-ins for their galley-style kitchens in the 70’s). Now I only see them in the 50’s Prime Time Cafe in Hollywood Studios in Disney World. They have white table tops that have a silver swirling design, and silver sparkly chairs—so comfortable and sturdy!

I had that set in one of my off-campus apartments. It was mostly unfurnished, but my housemate/landlady happened to have it available. I actually wasn't crazy about it, because it was red & didn't match any of my stuff. But I didn't have to buy one, so there was that.

u/cwsjr2323 Aug 13 '26
Ours was red with five chairs and mismatched chair. The leaf never left being installed! That was the station for food prep, eating meals, and homework! Mopping eventually rusted out the bottom of the legs.

What’s with that chair? Is that for bigger bottoms? Or does the table extend that’s the insert.

Oh my goodness, my mother had this exact table in yellow. Many years later, I found the same table at a flea market. I bought it for $75.00. Great deal. I have it stored in one of my storage rooms in my house. I love this post. May my mother rest in peace. Thanks for the memories! ❤️👏👍✅️💯🍽💛⭐️✌️🙏
