A few other things I do are to search for topics that I think are trending in design, like "chrome", "brass", "wicker", "rattan", "leather", "chevron", "mid century", "retro", etc. You'd be surprised what comes up that you don't find through free-style browsing. <br /><br />Another tip I have is to search, for example for "rattan", in the "For Sale" link versus through the "Furniture" postings. Sometimes people will post items for sale in the wrong place.<br /><br />Also, don't forget to check out the "Free" listings too!

The one about gallery that you told me about a while back changed my CL shopping experience, it is so much better than just scrolling through the text ads and having to click on each and every one to see a photo. I can't wait to implement these tips today as I have been stalking CL for 6 side chairs and know something fabulous is to be found. But you are so right on the search criteria, everyone titles items differently and it would be easy to miss something good by having too specific of a search.
