Yes, this is true. My apartment got INFESTED with bedbugs because my roommate picked up a bedside table that someone had put out for the trash. That was 5 years ago and now I buy things off Craigslist again. Make sure you ask the person if they've EVER had problems with bedbugs or have any bites (do this via email so you have a written record of their response--people are less likely to lie). And then, when you pick up the piece, give it a good search. Usually there will be tiny black spots near the joints of the furniture where they hide (those black spots are their feces). If the piece of furniture was never in a bedroom, there is a very low chance that it would have bedbugs (unless the apartment has a HORRIBLE infestation).

I really like it!! It's CHEAP, biodegradeable/recyclable, and will have people talking. The colors are lovely: pale greens, pink and creams.

I would MUCH prefer this to the giant flower arrangements I see at weddings that are chucked in the bin afterwards.
