Default Featherweight Cabinet,

I gots this from DH for Christmas, although I found it and took him to help me pick it up. He said, "Merry Christmas". as he was loading it. Yea, romantic is not his forte. Hope pic loads. Already had the Featherweight. Does not have original knobs on it and someone put lion feet on it which hopefull can be removed but they do help protect the bottom of the legs. Very happy with it.

Oh what a great treat, minus the romance. What a wonderful present. These seem to be very rare. I have only read about them and never seen a real one.

I'm so jealous. I saw the exact table on e-bay and I really wanted it. I did not bid don't remember how much they were asking but I think they are so cute. Congratulations. Enjoy.

Congratulations! Looks like a very nice table and your machine looks right at home! I've never seen an original just a remake of one. I hope to come across a nice one for my collection of FW's one day!

WOW WOW WOW These are extremely rare and sell sometimes for $4000 and up! I lust for one!!! I've also seen them on ebay and actually bid, but can't pay thousands for one.

Why is this not Romantic? Obviously, your husband loves you and is attentive to what you want/need. What's more Romantic than that?

I agree with pasovasz. It's not romantic in the Hollywood sense, but it beats him giving you cash & offering to loan you the truck to go pick it up by yourself!
