The Sourav dining table (World Market)
So...
I've been shopping for a new dining table set for a long time now. I keep backing off at the last second, because I have a hard time dropping so much money on something that might not hold up to our 5 kids and a very naughty beagle.
I think the Sourav table from World Market might be The One. I would get the table, two benches, and two chairs (one for each end). It should easily seat 8-10 people, which is what we're going for.
Please tell me if you own it, or have any thoughts on it. And, does anyone have any idea how often World Market puts on the big furniture sales? I just missed one.
Re: The Sourav dining table (World Market)
Have you seen it in person? It has a very rough finish on the top, which is great for kids, but probably one of those "love it or hate it" things. It's not just distressed, it has a sort of machine roughed up look to it. If your kids ever do homework at the table, they would probably need to put something under their papers to write because the table is bumpy.
I am a huge fan of World Market, but when we were looking at tables there I wasn't a huge fan of the finish on the Sourav. We ended up finding a WM table on Craigslist that has been discontinued, but it looks almost like the Sourav except with a smoother finish.
I get WM emails all the time with discounts, and I think they have sales every couple months or so.
We have that dining table! I wanted a big table that a lot of people could sit at. It is in our formal dining room. We have the two end chairs and two benches. I love it
We also have a 6 person table in our breakfast room that opens to seat 8 more people. We like to have lots of places for people to eat.
I have tons of pics of the dining table on my blog, link below. There is a pic in the most recent post, the IKEA shelves post, and the best pics are probably in the Christmas Self Timer post. I cant remember how much it was, we bought it 2 Thanksgivings ago.

I have the Sourav kitchen table, 4 chairs and 2 benches for sale- I know your post was from 2011, but worth a shot. Please email me if you are still interested: regangreene@me.com
