Anyone want to shop for me?
Dinning room table, dark wood. Either a set or something I can piece together for around $1,000.
Love the look of the benches but do people hate them?
Re: Anyone want to shop for me?
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
How many people do you want to seat?
I love the look of benches, but they are way too uncomfortable for me to imagine expecting someone to spend every dinner sitting on one.
The nerve!

I honestly would love to seat 8-12 but think in my price point it isn't realistic so am looking at 6 piece sets.
I hear y'all on the benches. Looks can't beat out comfort. Except in shoes...
If you really want to do 8-12, you need to start going to estate sales every week, and checking craigslist every day.
As an example:

This is a great deal, and I see Duncan Phyfe tables at antique stores and thrift sales all the time, as low as $300. You could recover the seats for like $40 tops for all the chairs.

But if you want new, I love these
From West Elm
Tables:
Round, extends to oval
Rectangle, I love this one so so much
Chairs to go with them
Chairs, to go with either table
Pretty modern for some people's taste, but 6 for $474
From World Market (furniture is 25% off right now online, codeNOVFURN7)
I love trestle tables
That could go with the Verona chairs
And this shape, though it may be too light
The nerve!

The Verona was the one I had found before. I LOVE it.
I want to be able to do the Craigslist thing I just SUCK at those types of things. I need to learn though.
