Can’t sell coffee tables? Betcha can….

January 18, 2017 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Every shop that sells furniture knows how hard it is to sell coffee tables, right?

Well, not if you do a little suggestive selling!

Try these ideas printed out and placed in an easel around the shop… and see if those coffee tables get snatched up quick!

HowToConsign.com sees a consignment store or thrift shop coffee table as a kids’ play table with some simple “roads”… and even parking spaces!

Chalkboard paint turns a consignment shop coffee table into a kids’ play table. We suggest cutting a hole to insert a chalk bowl into… but that’s just a frill 😉

Secondhand coffee table + chalkboard paint = play table!

      Thanks Sandra… and more importantly, every parent’s/ grandparent’s HOME needs one of these. And quite possibly, the home of the favorite aunt/uncle too!
