that does sound awesome!  great prices on the stuff.  I can hardly wait for yard sales here, the weather is getting nice so they should start soon.  I saw one on Craig's list for Sat, but it sounded like it might be a dealer thing so we will see. 

There is a really cool mid-century modern bureau at my local Sal Army that has been there for a few days now ($30).  I can't fit it in my car but I am always surprised that the mid-century mod pieces hang around for longer that some of the other furniture since it is so popular now (I guess not around here!).

Your finds sound great. i need to go thrifting with u.lol. u got some great deals. its been slow thrifting here lately so i am excited to hear about everyones good luck. would love to see pics of the chair. i love mid century. like valleythrift im awaiting yardsales to start. since im in south carolina iand the weather is getting warm there are alot of yardsales this weekend..  @ valleythrift i wish the midcentury pieces would hang around a couple of days here.  i saw a really cool chair for ten bucks but ofcourse it was sold. and i still cant get that drexel midcentury coffee and end tables out of my mind. lol i hope i find some good finds in the near future.
