Choosing The Right Dining Table

Who doesn’t love 1,909 words about searching for a dining room table? Here we go.

We’ve been on a big round table hunt pretty much ever since we first set foot in our house. See, as soon as we walked into the small-ish formal dining room that fateful night in late fall of 2010 while house-hunting, John said “this room should be the office- and we can add french doors for you.” Sold.

Since we have a pretty huge family (there are at least 12 of us when we get together for birthdays and even casual movie nights or spaghetti dinners) we knew that room would never accommodate a table large enough for more than around six people (which is what we had in our last house, and it just wasn’t enough). Slowly after lots of floor planning and sketching and arguing passionate discussions we decided it would be awesome to knock a huge 5+ foot opening in the wall between the kitchen and the former living room and turn that room into a casual dining room/library off of a nice defined entryway over by the door. Here’s the original house’s floor plan (look at the room labeled “Living Room”):

Floorplan Original

And here’s a rough future floor plan for reference (now look at the room labeled “Dining Room”):

Floorplan Initial Thoughts

Oh and here’s a pic of the future dining room as it looks now (just patiently waiting for a table):

Painted Built Ins2

I’m standing in the middle of the room, so here’s an older shot before we spruced up the built ins to show more of the space (the wall on the left is where we’ll bust through to the kitchen and create a giant 6′ wide doorway):

Day 15 Living Room

And here’s a shot of the other side of the room (where we’ll add a nice defined entryway so it won’t feel like you’re walking into a dining room):

Day 15 Living Room 2

But back to the dining room table hunt. Long story short long, that room is just a lot more accommodating when it comes to a huge table, but to keep it from feeling too formal and wood-riddled I always pictured a nice round table (which just seems softer and somehow a bit more “friendly” than an angular rectangle). I also have a craving for green leather (or faux leather) parsons chairs (like this, but apple green) so it doesn’t feel too formal and wood-riddled. You know, to try to keep it casual and inviting with lots of different textures playing against each other (maybe even a slightly rustic table pared with bright clean-lined chairs). The goal would be not only a table for big family meals, but for kid crafts and after school projects (hence the kid-proof chairs that are easily wipeable).

But the challenge with something round is that it usually seats 4 people. Rarely you’ll find something that’s around 60″ wide, which seats six people. But our goal was seating for eight. Since we’ll be adding an island in the adjoined (well, it will be once we make that big opening in the wall) kitchen, which will hopefully seat at least four people, that should do the trick. Feel free to do the math with me. 8 + 4 = 12. Oh happy day. But math solves nothing.

Of course that’s a false statement. My dad (the math teacher) will probably want to disown me for it. But I’ve always had a flair for the dramatic, so now that I have your attention (or at least the attention of my dad) I’ll revise my statement. Math is nice, but it doesn’t make a round table that seats eight people materialize out of nowhere. That takes a little legwork.

So I let my fingers do the walking and googled my brains out to determine what sized round table I was in the market for (and taped it off on the floor to make sure it would fit). I learned that a 70″ table should easily accommodate eight people (not in giant arm chairs, but it should work with modesly sized parsons chairs). So then I just had to find a 70″ round table. Easy right? Not easy. But that’s ok. I like a challenge. Here’s what I came up with after lots o’ digging around.

This 60″ round table for $998:

Table 1 60

This 70″ one for $1995:

Table 2 Fancy

This 48″ round table (which extends to a 72″ oval) from Pottery Barn for $1299:

Table 3 Pb

This 60″ pedestal version on sale for $1499:

Last Table Fancy

Kind of a bummer, right? Everything was either too small (and still in the $998 – $1499 range) or big enough but in the $1300-2K range. Yikes.

So then we hit up a number of thrift stores and antique shops and even the Habitat for Humanity ReStore. But a 70″ round table is a pretty specific thing. So the closest we got to it was a 50″ laminate table that looked like it hailed from a 50’s diner. Not gonna work. We briefly considered DIYing something, but the idea of somehow crafting a round top that large had us both worried that it would be nearly impossible to find one solid 70″ piece of thick-and-not-cheap looking wood to use, so then it would have to be made of planks which just felt sort of cobbled together and not chunky and solid like the table we both envisioned. So sad. Hear the tiny violins playing in the background? Yeah, me too.

Then John’s sister recommended that we hit up The Dump. Pardon the slightly totally offputting name. It’s actually a discount furniture store here in Richmond that runs commercials all the time about their extremely low prices.

The Dump

So we gave it a shot. And wouldn’t you know it there was a heartstoppingly beautiful rustic yet clean-lined 70″ round table there. And it had a nice non-invasive pedestal base, which was on my “icing on the cake” category. I thought it would be nice to have everyone gathered around it without worrying about table legs that encroach on actual human legs. Not mine because they’re not long enough to have those issues (for which I’m forever resentful since my short stature is always the reason I get assigned the back middle seat in a packed car, which can best be described as slightly more comfortable than sitting on a see-saw for an hour or so). But I do think about our guests’ comfort. And my tall hubby’s. And Clara’s someday. Did I mention my baby is in the 90th percentile for height and I couldn’t be prouder? Literally couldn’t. be. prouder.

Here’s where I’d insert a pic of the beautiful table, but I was too busy falling in love to snap pics. Total brain fart. Sorry! It can best be described as a mix between the top table and the bottom table listed above. It’s rustic and chunky like the bottom table but the base is a bit more like the top table. Sort of.

But the price was $1800. Wop wop. I petted the table. I snuggled up to the base (yes, picture me kneeling under it and embracing the pedestal and sighing). Then from the depths of my sorrows under the table I heard John’s voice from above saying “wait, the $1800 price tag also includes eight chairs.” I swear it was like the voice of an angel. I sprung up from my awkward table embrace, hit my head loudly on the lip of the table, quickly declared that I was fine to everyone within a ten foot radius who was staring at me like I was some sort of weirdo, and then shouted “best news ever!” while fist pumping my way to a standing position. Yes, that really happened.

That news just meant that I would have to sweet talk someone into selling me the table without the chairs (because I was already mentally married to green leather or faux leather parsons chairs and spending $1800 just wasn’t in the budget for us anyway). So I found a sweet lady and asked how much the table was without the chairs. Sweet lady says “they won’t sell it without the chairs.” John gets that uncomfortable look that he gets when he’d rather just walk away but knows that I’m about to make it my personal goal to change this lady’s mind. I followed up with “What if I buy the floor model? Right now. In cash. Well not cash, because I don’t have that on hand. But with a credit card. And we walk away into the night. Will anyone really care if I pay for the table right now and those chairs get snatched up by someone else later?” Compelling argument, right? Sweet lady says “I’ll have to ask my boss but he doesn’t usually split things up that way.”

Long story short, the boss-man agrees to sell us the table for $799 without the chairs after a fair amount of begging/eye-batting (I may have told him that no one will love the table like I will, and as a fellow furniture connoisseur he’d be pleased to know that I vow to give it a great home for years to come). Nope, I didn’t mention the blog or promise a post about The Dump in exchange for a good table price (I’m serious about our no special treatment declaration). But my vow to love the table like my own daughter seemed to work. The moment “ok” escaped his lips I seriously had to resist every urge to hug him while jumping up and down (so I ended up doing some sort of weird handshake/Elaine-from-Seinfeld dance) and then whipped out the ol’ credit card and bought the table before anyone could change their mind. I probably made a face like this while John was in the corner making a face like this:

Crazy Face

So that’s how we snagged an authentic solid wood 70″ round table that will seat at least 8 people and will probably host its fair share of holiday and birthday meals for years and possibly even decades to come. Oh and guess what it’s made of. Sheesham. No I didn’t sneeze. That’s really the name of the wood. According to WikiAnswers, “Sheesham (also known as Indian Rosewood) is a fast-growing hardwood, sourced from sustainable areas. Being a hard wood, it can be used to make functional furniture that copes with the stresses and strains of everyday use.” Isn’t that nice? Durable is absolutely 100% the goal when it comes to our house in general (we want this place to really get used and loved and filled with family and friends while we unwind and enjoy their company instead of worrying about nicks and scratches.

Oh and speaking of standing-up-to-all-sorts-of-abuse, the top of the table is actually really cool. It’s not jagged, but it’s not 100% smooth either. It’s sort of wavy and hand-carved so if Clara’s one year old cousin comes over and smashes his firetruck onto the surface, a nick would be pretty well hidden among all of the natural peaks and valleys of the tabletop. It’s not too bumpy to rest a glass on or anything, just sort of subtly rippled and irregular. And I love it. Growing up we had one of those super glossy lacquered tabletops that was so pristine that you could see every little hairline scratch in it, so this baby strikes me as the polar opposite in a really really good way.

So that’s 1,909 words about a table that we can’t wait to welcome into our home. Pics to come when Woody arrives within a week or so!

    I just bought a Sheesham console table (online and sight useen- yikes!) and couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of the wood! I, too, had never heard of it until I bought this piece. The wood is much harder than my pottery barn coffee table – which gets a dent if you sneeze in it’s general direction. And the way the stain perfectly takes to the wood gives it a heirloom look – no one ever assumes it was a bargain!!! It looks much richer than I am :)

    Can’t wait to see yours!

    I didn’t read the comments so as not to duplicate, but I saw an interview of Maya Angelou on Nate’s show. She stated that she “loves round tables because everyone is equal; there is no head of the table.” Everyone gets to share in the discussion. I am thinking of switching our long Ikea table to a round table where we can all share and see each other equally.

    Good luck.

    Wow, I thought the dining room would be one of the last rooms to get attention, but I guess a place to eat it pretty important. We live in a small one bedroom apartment and don’t have room for a table so we eat around our coffee table. Sometimes I even set it like a real table…

    I kept reading and reading and reading, waiting for the nickname of this fab table. Finally, in the last sentence I learn he is ‘Woody’. Excellent job making sure I read every last word!

    I’d love to see a floor plan with the rooms renamed with furniture names someday. Like, instead of “Dining Room” it would say “Woody’s Room” (or even something more clever because you guys are awesome like that).

    CAUTION! That wall you want to blast through looks like it might very well be load-bearing (you see how it forms a “virtual” straight line down the middle of your floor plan – that’s a clue)!! It isn’t the end of your hopes and dreams, it just means that you may have to reinforce the opening and I would strongly recommend leaving that up to a professional with lots of experience.

    Please please please make sure you have it checked out before you do anything, ok? We would all be very sad if something happened to you or your casa!

    (PS: I am not just talking out of my arse, here, btw. I am a designer and I run an architectural drafting business. I work with this stuff 40 hours a week. Just in case you were thinking that I might be a crackpot. Ok, well I am a crackpot, but I try not to be when it comes to this stuff. HA!)

      Yup, it’s definitely a load bearing wall! No worries though- for projects like that we always bring in experts! Licensed contractors helped us widen load bearing doorways in the last house and we’ll definitely rely on them for their expertise (and labor) this time around for sure!

    Your table bargain story reminds me of how I scored a sweet deal on a mirror at Pier 1. It was beautiful and rustic, but $100. Then I saw one for only $20, marked as “final sale” becuase there was a crack running through part of it. (Almost unnoticable).

    When I tried to buy it, the manager stopped me because the broken mirror should have been taken off the floor (I guess for safety reasons). He wanted to get me one that wasn’t cracked, but he told me it wouldn’t be discounted. He tried to take the cracked mirror out of my arms, but I held onto that baby, literally refusing to give it up, until he finally agreed to let me buy it for $20. I know he probably thought I was nuts, but guess what? It fit my space perfectly, and the crack barely shows. Someday I’ll replace the mirror glass.

    A good home DIYer is willing to fight for the deals, right? :)

    Found what you want, in sustainable wood and for a bargain – triple high five!

    My house is tiny so almost every piece has to be uber functional and multipurpose.

    My coffee table is also a dining table that can seat up to 8 people! It’s like this:

    On my hunt for the perfect solution I found these tables that I thought of immediately when I started reading your post! I think that they would be perfect for a situation similar to yours and if I ever find myself having the space for one of these and having freshly won the lottery I would totally get one! The 3rd one is my favorite:

    A suggestion for the Parsons chairs you’re looking for, though I’m not sure if the green is the apple green you’re looking for:

    The Sophia Chair from World Market
    http://www.worldmarket.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3807664

    These chairs go on half-price sale a couple of times a year (the last one ended just a couple of weeks ago, I think). We have four of them, they’re solid and well-made, *very* child-friendly (i.e. wipeable) and they’re comfy for those lingering after-dinner conversations.

    If you sign up for their newsletter you’ll also be offered their friends and family discounts a couple of times a year.

    congrats on the table! as soon as you mentioned the size you needed, i felt so badly … my parents have been carting around my great-grandmother’s dining set for years … a round table that, with leaves, sat 10 people. it was a beautiful set, but when my parents moved, they had to find it a new home because it wouldn’t fit in the new space. my mom was heartbroken that this dining room set, that he been in the family for more than 100 years, was being sent away.

    also, when we moved into our ranch house seven years ago, i immediately turned the “formal living room” at the front of the house into the dining room, because three rooms for sitting on sofas to watch tv seemed excessive. and never once have i regretted it … the space is large and accommodates so many people. dining rooms are made so tiny nowadays … do they really think that people entertain only 4 to 6 people at a time?? opening your kitchen to the “living room” to make it a dining room will be your favorite thing. promise.

    Hey Youngsters!

    Can’t wait to see the table. :-) Also, I wanted to tell you that I had a dream about you last night. We were friends and I came over to your house. You showed me the new gray beams, and lo and behold, the ceiling fans were, in fact, enormous tortise shells suspended from the ceiling with ceiling fan blades attached to them. Then, I looked up, and above the fans/shells, there was a large vinyl covered mat (like we used in gym class in school) also hanging from the ceiling, and I was all – what? Turns out your ceilings were actually more like fifteen/twenty feet high, and the mat was suspended from the second set of beams delineating the cathedral ceiling. The best part? The mat was folded over and inside the fold were two huge lawn statues. I asked John “what are those for?” and he was all “those are the statues of Thor that we will put out on the lawn in the spring” LOL!!

    I just couldn’t resist telling you, it was such a funny dream to wake up from. :-)

    This table sounds amazing! Also, in reference to your post yesterday (I’m a bit behind on my blog reading!), I highly recommend Ralph Lauren’s Regent Metallics line – it’s the best metallic paint I’ve ever used. It’s subtly shimmery, and goes on SO SO nicely. They sell it at my Home Depot, though it’s difficult to find, as you have to go to the paint counter and ask for it (I have no idea why; my Home Depot works in mysterious ways). Anyway, if they don’t have it at your Home Depot, you can order a gallon from the website and pick it up in the store (it’s still returnable, I’m pretty sure, if it doesn’t work out).

    I also like Benjamin Moore’s Modern Masters line, but it’s *very* metallic (I can’t imagine painting a whole wall with it, I’d have to mix it with some regular paint first), as opposed to the Ralph Lauren, which is more like regular paint with a subtle metallic sheen. (Both the Benjamin Moore and the RL applied like a dream. I tried a sample of the Martha Stewart and found it thinner and much less even, application-wise, than either the RL or BM, both of which looked great after one coat. And now I have a champagne-metallic headboard and a chocolate-metallic chair. Different rooms, don’t worry.)

      We’re completely clueless. It’s just listed as “solid sheesham” which is the type of wood. But in all likelyhood it’s a deeply discounted designer table since that’s what they seem to sell there. Sometimes they don’t reveal the designer though, kinda like TJ Maxx and HomeGoods furnishings and rugs.

    Dining room tables are so tough! The day before we packed up our house to move from Savannah I went into a house down the street that had been vacant and there was this amazing mahogany round pedastle table that was in desperate need of help along with 6 leaves and 6 chairs. The family sold it to me for $250!! We fixed it up and I love it…it is ver 100 years old and reminds us of our time in Savannah!

    We have a very small dining room – 8ft by 10 ft – that serves also as a walk through to the kitchen. I really wanted to find a table that would seat at least 6, but wouldn’t overwhelm the space. Also, budget was a big issue. For a long time I flirted with a Duncan Phyfe table from craigslist that was listed at $900. Most were less, but this one was the perfect size. But I just couldn’t do it, and they wouldn’t negotiate on price. I FINALLY found a rectangle-shaped duncan phyfe style table with rounded corners that was the same size, and matched it with a bench along the wall, which makes the walk through area wider. Oh, and did I mention it was basically free? I only wanted the table, but the guy sold it to me for less for taking the chairs too (his wife was just days from having a baby). I sold the chairs on, and maybe ended up paying $30 for the table. Whoohoo!

    We have a Dump here too and I’ve always wondered about the furniture and prices; nice to see an actualy post on it. I’m so excited you went with a round table instead of the usual rectangle. I’m not a fan of the long rectuangular table because you can usually only converse with like 2 people without yelling and someone always feels left out. The round table makes it much easier to converse.

    And you might want to consider getting a lazy susan for the middle of the table to set condiments and drink pitchers (and food if you’re not a buffet family like mine) on while dining; it’s much easier than reaching for stuff or passing stuff back and forth.

    I am glad you found something at the dump. I went there once but wasn’t impressed…well, I was looking for a dresser and all their stuff looked pretty cheaply made and was falling apart…I guess that’s why it’s the dump. But I want to go again, so what else they got. BTW, still no dresser.
