About three years ago, I purchased a very cool aluminum table at the now-defunct Storehouse Furniture.  Because it is currently being used in my mom's place, I can't photograph it for you ... so you are going to have to trust me on this one ... but I was shocked to see this extremely similar table (shown above) featured some time ago in House Beautiful magazine ... for approximately three times what I paid for my Storehouse version.  The larger version is even more outrageously priced.   Don't get me wrong - I haven't seen the Linda Horn tables in person, so it is certainly possible that they are of significantly higher quality than my Storehouse table.  But, if these tables were twins, I'd ask for DNA testing to find out whether they were identical.  

So what's prompting this entry today of all days?  Well, I had also intended to compare the Storehouse table and the Linda Horn tables to the Pottery Barn Recycled Aluminum Table (shown below).   

Well - although it's no longer available on the website - it turns out that the Gaffney Pottery Barn outlet has one of those little numbers in stock!  I think it was around $200.  So if you are interested in the Linda Horn look at a significantly smaller price tag, head down to Gaffney ASAP!
