[quote=Anonymous]Since your dh has weighed in and doesn't want you to say anything, I think you're stuck.  It was rude of your MIL to take back something she gave you to give to SIL.  Maybe she wanted to make a good impression on SIL's inlaws - make herself look good at your expense.

I guess a kind of underhanded way to go about it would be to reach out to SIL and ask her if she wants the remaining pieces, since you're about to buy new.  If she really did intend to give you the chairs back this would be a reminder and she might offer them up.  If dh gets mad you can truthfully tell him you didn't ask for them back.  If SIL doesn't offer to give them to you, then you could ask your MIL if she wants to take the remaining pieces back.

I wouldn't accept any more "gifts" from you MIL.  Or if you do, you could be make passive aggressive jokes about it every time you see them.  Wow, great, thank you so much, we'd love to have that coffee table, well, at least until the next addition to SIL's house.
