Retro Kitchen Table & Chairs Printers Plate.

I used to see sets like these at thrift stores all the time and we had one in one of the apartments I lived in as an undergrad. With speckles and shiny flecks in the formica surface and shiny and puffy chairs of vinyl, these kitchen sets seemed to last for a long time and find new and affordable life.
