I'm looking for a dining table. At the moment the chairs are in place, but the table is missing!

I don't want anything too big, probably max of 170cm long (though I like the idea of an extending one to go beyond this, eg to ~200cm). I've found one I like, but in reality can't afford it, so looking for alternatives.

I like this one: http://www.johnlewis.com/bethan-gray-for-john-lewi...


Does anyone have ideas for a cheaper alternative?



Thanks

Ebay / Gumtree and be prepared to travel.

I bought a perfect condition £1500 table for £80 as no one else bid and it was in Lincoln (approx 3hrs away) but it was exactly what we wanted.

try etsy with a bit of effort you might be able to commission what you want from someone on there.. ive seen quite a few good pieces recently that require some good joinery skills and the pricing is always keen

Check out the Habitat Radius range - then look on eBay... do a local search and see what comes up!
