Show of hands: who else had this rug growing up

$370 in 1975 is equivalent to $2,270 in 2026. That’s just for the table and 4 chairs, but it’s solid maple, probably well made. I don’t see the price of the rug listed.

More around $2100. They're Canadian dollars

I inherited this exact dining set from my grandparents. My mom had this rug when I was little, but the dog destroyed it.

MajesticLow@reddit

Same here. That table still stands somewhere today.

Hey! I inherited this kitchen table from my grandparents, and hope to keep it in good condition and in use for a long time to come.

Now that I look at the table, something is whacked with the perspective here. It looks like its front leg is sticking out at an angle.

[-]

FreddyNoodles@reddit

I thought originally it was a miniature that someone made.

Moliza3891@reddit

Looks very similar to my grandparents’ set.

I have one of those captains chairs! I got it at Goodwill for $12. My cats love it.

We have that table in our house right now, my in-laws gave it to us! Only have two chairs though, I'd like to track down two more. This furniture is super solid, especially compared to what we would have bought otherwise.

yamahowzer@reddit

I knew soooooo many people with that table

Comes in Brown, Chartreuse, Orange or Gold

FreddyNoodles@reddit

I did not have that ru growing up, but I think I would buy it now. Would be great for my dog. Maybe something she can’t destroy for once.

"rust"

Moliza3891@reddit

Some variation of it, yes. It drove my neurotic lil brain crazy when a segment between the layers started separating.

[-]

Why does it look like that table is not actually on that carpet? The perspective is entirely wrong. One leg is at the edge of the carpet, but the other is near the middle.

[-]

MedicalRhubarb7@reddit (OP)

The table's making a break for it

[-]

Beezel_Pepperstack@reddit

We had that rug in the garage!

[-]

Just_No_8@reddit

No but why did I think this was a Sims 4 screenshot for a second?

[-]

the_kid1234@reddit

Wait…

[-]

MedicalRhubarb7@reddit (OP)

Honestly I assumed K-Mart

[-]

Flimsy_Situation_506@reddit

Same one but darker brown tones

[-]

MedicalRhubarb7@reddit (OP)

Yeah, ours was the brown toned one as well

[-]

Flimsy_Situation_506@reddit

Went with our brown lazy boy and brown sofa .. and brown blankets.. hahaha

[-]

MedicalRhubarb7@reddit (OP)

OMG the brown lazy boy, core memories unlocked

[-]

Miami_Mice2087@reddit

my grandparents did in their finished basement.

someone had that side table, an aunt I think

[-]

Sandkat@reddit

My grandma definitely had those table and chairs! And possibly one of those hutches too.

[-]

echochilde@reddit

Many. My grandma made them from scrap fabric.

[-]

Ckn-bns-jns@reddit

Ours was browns and blues. Also had the doormat rugs to match.

[-]

SufficientEnergy839@reddit

Grandma still has that rug

[-]

Electrical-Bacon-81@reddit

It was on the wood floor in my bedroom.

[-]

AdoraSkater@reddit

I have that rug in my basement right now!

[-]

gertrudeblythe@reddit

We had a plain dark brown version of that rug!

[-]

BillyDMountain@reddit

A lot of that stuff was at my Grandma's cottage.

[-]

DisastrousTurn9220@reddit

[-]

Brighter_Days_Ahead4@reddit

My mom had the copper kettle in the background. In fact she still has it.

[-]

MedicalRhubarb7@reddit (OP)

AnimegamiJewelia@reddit

Oh that fuckin rug…sometimes scratchy sensory nightmare fuel cause gpars had shedding pets. bleagh.

[-]

MedicalRhubarb7@reddit (OP)

I feel like that rug is incomplete without a large dog sleeping on it

[-]

Thorbertthesniveler@reddit

Sure did! I even have a smaller not so terrible one at home right now!

[-]

MeatPopsicle10@reddit

Yes, my parents still do!

[-]

leftyjamie@reddit

No. But 2 of my aunts and at least 3 neighbors had that chair and table set.

[-]

thecicilala@reddit

It was in my garage though.

[-]

Peeping-Tom-Collins@reddit

Nana had that rug...

[-]

TheWolf_NorCal@reddit

I don't know about the rug but god damn I bet that furniture will survive for 150 years.

[-]

pettyvillainy@reddit

Rug, chairs, and table. Our rug was more a brown/beige/tan, though.

[-]

belushi99@reddit

I'm pretty sure we had that exact table too!!

[-]

Archivarianne@reddit

Never had the rug but the table and chairs I bought a year ago 2nd hand.

[-]

Changing-Subjects@reddit

I still have it

[-]

FactoryOfBradness@reddit

We had that exact rug and I would walk around in circles following the pattern while talking on the phone that had the long cord

[-]

HoneyWhiskeyLemonTea@reddit

We had several growing up, my mom loved them, lol. One was VERY similar to the one in the ad, but we also had one in yellow, orange, and green (!) that was in our den... which also had dark wood paneling walls and a linoleum floor. Lord help you if your bare feet caught an edge of that linoleum, it would cut the hell out of little toes.

[-]

Got a picture to jog my memory?
