Show me your dining table please

[sunnygym]

We are moving into our new house in a few weeks and finally have enough to space to have a family dinining table. I'm looking for a 6-8 seater rectangular but haven't seen anything we like. What have you got and where from, if you have a pic or link even better.

Thanks

Sunnygym

Or indeed "dinining".

I have a feeling this is going to go the way I intended!

Shame they move it though.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh Ingram Chairs and table (copies) This was about a year ago when I hadn't moved in. Rosewood finished but you can get them in oak or ebonised. There are a few people who still make copies and they do turn up secondhand on ebay. (Chairs tend to be about £175 each upwards new) Look nice but not the most comfortable.



It's a bit fuller now

For example a set of 8 chairs, the same people do tables as well but they have their own website

Here's our table, it's also larger than you said you want and yes, it's the actual table from the last supper. My wife saw it in a lovely little shop in Tuscany (where we have a villa with large swimming pool) and simply had to have it. Yes, it was expensive but we can afford it and we're worth it.

I think you've been had there. I can tell you for sure that the table from the last supper was in fact 'tables'. Fold away jobs that were borrowed from the local church hall and covered in paper cloths (easily binned after). It has been said that the clothes pegs that held the paper on are used by the Vatican for pegging out on wash day.

I wonder who says grace.

No idea what your budget is, but I went to see this place on Friday.

Bloody lovely stuff.

Cost, nothing, seats ten at a pinch.

We bought one of these (we had ours made slightly larger at 180x90 though). Really impressed with it for how much it cost. Really chunky/heavy so should last for a long time.

(I have no link with the fella that makes these by the way)

We have an Arne Jacobsen for Fritz Hansen shaker table with a set of six Arne Jacobsen Ant chairs.

Really like that. We are going for a gloss white kitchen with a light herringbone wooden floor so something like the above would look great. For those asking, we don't really have a budget but I think £2-2.5k would be our limit ( inc chairs if poss) also really like crushed glass table top, but can't find anywhere on anyone that does it. Only one I found was for £10k.

If anyone has any links for bespoke makers please let me know

Thanks sunnygym

We've had the dining table size / height version of this for a decade or so now:



It's bombproof, takes whatever abuse the kids throw at it and cleans up nicely too One day I will get round to polishing it as it is currently quite "distressed"

I honesty thought it was an office table and the "Arne Jacobsen for Fritz Hansen shaker table with a set of six Arne Jacobsen Ant chairs" description was a dig at the usual PH willy wavers.

Apparently it was originally designed for a hotel.

If you want something quite heavy and robust this is what we have although with added bar across the bottom to rest your feet on.
It's made from reclaimed railway sleepers - French Oak, and the chairs with leather padded seats.
