Susan runs a store that sells furniture. One day, Brittney, a customer, walks in the store. After looking around the store, Brittney approaches Susan to buy an expensive wooden chair for $1,200. Susan gives Brittney a written contract for the purchase of the chair, which Brittney reads.

While Brittney is reading the contract, Susan tells Brittney, “If you sign now, we can also deliver to you a free luxury wooden table to go with the chair.”

Brittney tells Sarah, “Oh that would be perfect,” and signs the written contract for the purchase of the chair.

A week later, Brittney receives the chair by delivery, but not the table.

Upset, Brittney goes back to the store to confront Susan. Susan tells Brittney that, “Sorry, we ran out of luxury tables. And our written contract only mentions the luxury chair which we have delivered, and the $1,200 which you have paid.”

Susan refuses to give Brittney the luxury table.

Advise Brittney if she can enforce Susan’s oral promise to give Brittney the luxury table. Please only use the material in Contracts 2 to answer the question. Do NOT discuss terms and representations and/or conditions or warranties in your answer.
