I managed to get six maple leg dining room chairs today, with slipcovers, from a Disney hotel, for $9 a piece or less (four for $31) . So it all evens out.
They look prettier in person than in pics, but if you wanna see or if you want some for yourself and you are near Orlando, here's a link:

I don't love shopping, per se, but I LOVE bargain hunting.
