Your dining table (if you have one)

What's it like?

 

Octagon shaped. Dark wood on the bottom and like a black enamel or some such surface on top. It's ugly and marked and scratched. I think it has some super glue stuck to it as well. Undoubtedly there are boogers on the bottom of it.

 

It's a circle. and it's brown. and there are always plants sitting on it. unless it's thanksgiving or some other occasion where we are actually going to use it. Then we put the rectangular middle part in it and it magically becomes bigger so more people can sit at it.

 

Mine's really nice. I bought it from my boss for only $300. It's an older table, but like new. Only been used twice. It's like a dark mahogany and it seats 6. I like the chairs, they have tall backs. The table's legs are at the center, like a round table, and not like most where the legs are just at the four corners. It's a really nice table.

 

rectangle and wooded and has black soft chairs

 

Made of wood. And lose.

 

mine has a glass top and metal legs.

Ikea ftw XD

 

hahaha, awesome!




mine is more like a breakfast table... tall, light tan, pushed up against a wall with 2 barstools on one side...

i never actually eat there though... i either eat off a small tv tray i have, or else i pull one of the aforementioned barstools up to my computer and eat off that...

 

i believe it came from ikea...and it does its job....

but i would LOVE to get an heirloom table someday... a nice solid one...with leaves...

 

i used to have this solid maple hardwood table in my old place a year ago...it was square...i had to sell it...i miss it...

 

we donated our table when we moved because our house now has a breakfast nook with like stoarage bench thingies and we have an eat-in kitchen so there is no where to really put a dining room table.

 

Octagon dark red wooded with glass top and 6 seats.

 

tiny,made of dark wood, square top. usually has flowers on it. right now it's covered in random junk mail and such. it's a two-seater.

 

oval tempered smoke tinted glass top, single central pedistal base, almost completely covered with condement containers except for ratan matts at the two place settings.

well there's a couple of cutting boards and a cheese cutter too, and a 'candy (and crackers)' dish in the middle (a couple of them) boxes of tea bags and loose tea, p-nut butter, my big thing of powdered chocklet, a shelf out of another rotisary to set stuff hot out of the oven on.

sortof can't really very often see the actual surface of it.

we're lucky to be renting this place that has a REAL kitchen with room for it.

of course the chairs are no two alike, and none of them what may origeonally have came with it, whatever they may have been. those were long gone when i married wifie. she already had it in that little appartment she had been living in.

there's a third chair infront of where the boxes of tea and the cutting boards are, the back of it is a rack for jackie's coats and jackets, the seat of it, a place of the box of detergent and vegitable bags and bread wrappers awaiting their turn to be recycled as storage containers and stuff like that.

the fourth 'side' (narrow end of the oval) is against the wall under one of the windows that look out on the garden.

the wall between the windows has received greeting cards taped to it, and a painting of one egg sitting on a wooden table.

oh, and there's a faided and much travel worn plushie rabbit leaning against the window sill.

.../\...

 

ikea ftw

 

messy with files, documents, a jacket and a bag on it. we dont usually use it

 

We don't have one yet, but are thinking of buying this set:

 

Large rectangle, seats six, dark maple wood with a custom made glass top. With our three kids, and if we didn't cover that table, it would have been shot real quick! *laughs*

That glass table top has been a life saver! I love it too when I'm rolling out fondant for my cakes, perfect smooth surface, don't have to worry about damaging the table. Worth every extra penny to have that glass on it.

We have a smaller table in the kitchen which I usually have the kids sit at for breakfast during the weekdays, and my oldest always does his home work on it. It's wood and wrought iron with glass inserts. It looks kind of beat up from the 10 years we've had it, but it does the job.

 

We've had it for as long as I can remember. It's rectangular in shape and made out of wood. About 6 months ago mum got tired of it but instead of tossing it, she decoupaged it with old newpaper clippings and advertisements dating back from 1951 onwards. Good reading material in the morning...

 

my dining table is made of rich mahogany
