Seating for Six

Roger and I finally got a dining room table that seats more than the two of us. Since we moved in we have wanted to get a table so that we could invite more people over for dinner. We couldn't justify the expense until recently. We sort of knew what we were looking for, but just need to find it.

We ended up finding just what we were looking for at Casual Dining and Bar Stools. After browsing for a bit, we realized that we didn't even measure the space. Thinking that the space was large enough, we thought we needed a table with an insert. In the end, we had to go home to measure the space and found that the largest table that we could fit in the space (with extra room for the chairs) was 66" inches. Any bigger would just be in the way.

So the next day we went back and re-examined our options. We didn't end up needing an insert so that at least gave us more options in our price range. The table that we purchased, I just happened to be sitting at the night before. It felt casual but formal with its leather seating. What we are super excited about is that Thomas won't be able to see through the table to the things that are sitting on top of it. He is constantly complaining about reaching for things he can see but can't reach. I know that won't last long, but for now it will be less frustrating for all.

I am glad we finally have a place to do puzzles, type on my laptop, and eventually, where Thomas can do his homework.
