The frame's all iron and the top's a mosaic inlay, so it weighs a ton. It stood two blocks more far away than we usually go and my boyfriend said that's too heavy, but I had my mind set on it. After two streets I was totally out of breath, but then we were close enough to home for me to go for our trolley, while he guarded our trophy of the evening. This was really worth the effort and it even matches the green plastic chairs you see stapled up in the picture. By the way, when I found those they still had the bar code sticker of the shop on them. Totally unused.

The US has always had a hidden subculture of people who reuse or recycle trash. My grandparents did it but my parents not so much. I've always taken whatever I wanted from curbs and bins and other waste areas. Not much different in picking up a seashell or a scrap of lumber or a set of Legos in the box.
I applaud you for finding such great stuff and making it beautiful and unique.
