oh no! there was one of these on the street over the weekend. i could have been twinsies with mb. top was separate with bag full of fasteners taped to it. base was in perfect condition, the top had issues. looked like where the screw were there were bumps in the cheap ass table top. it was probably 3/4 of a mile from where i am staying. i walked past it then two blocks late i turned around to check it out. the base was sturdy. did i mention that when i said it was in perfect condition?

 i did a search and realized it was ikea (label still affixed, duh) but when i thought i looked it up it said $100. bad dave. bad dave. i was kind of embarrassed there on the street sizing up my options for an overlong period of time. i was ready to call for an uber for the short run but id need to get it uptown eventually which would require friendship or more ubering which at $100 with a busted top the table slowly lost its allure. but $300! could i have replaced the top easily? i dont even want to look.
