Years ago I bought these two end tables that look to be the same (you can see them in a thrown together room here <a href="http://modernminihouses.blogspot.com/2010/12/very-merry-christmas.html" rel="nofollow">http://modernminihouses.blogspot.com/2010/12/very-merry-christmas.html</a>). They came in fitted white boxes, so I had hoped there were more pieces, but I never found any and stopped looking. VERY COOL set. Mine also had stickers on them that were hard to get off one of the legs. As TSS said, I believe mine also said Made in Japan. Glad you made it back safe, can't wait to read about your latest acquisition. :PMini Dorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13767155702097390671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8300743333316112399.post-36219743105951358142011-07-02T14:33:17.932-04:002011-07-02T14:33:17.932-04:00Hi Chris

I appreciate your kind words...I do juggle a lot with my family and work, which leaves me very little time for my hobby. I tend to do my hobby late at night, like this scene, and then I finish it early in the morning before I get the kids up. I keep my eBay searching to some favorite categories and that's it. I am sure I am missing things.
