This certainly is a handsome table and chairs, but can it live up to the Trade Me listing description? "Have you ever dreamed of reliving the adventures of King Arthur and his knights of the round table?" it reads. "Well now you can! This table has been certified completely round
by a leading expert in circles and round things. Have your friends over; sit at the table; plan noble deeds and adventures as equals! But wait, there's more. If the mood strikes you or if you happen to be particularly popular you can, at a moment's notice, extend the table out to seat more.

Both the table and the chairs are made from genuine wood from a genuine tree. Be the envy of all your chair-less friends who have to resort to sitting on the floor. The table and chairs do have some lovingly made marks here and there and are not in what one might call 'pristine condition' but that just adds to their rustic charm. Rustic is very in right now; very hipster. Great for Instagram pics. Instagram is very in right now; very hipster. And if things are getting too rustic for your liking the table is 100% coverable with a table cloth if you happen to have one."

He took it back in for a few days then put it back on the berm with a sign showing '$25' and a phone number. It was stolen within 20 minutes. It's all in the marketing."
