More than a Compromise

After a little haggling and looking at manifold tables from pedestal rounds (me), to exotic hardwood slabs (Tuan), we have both decided we like this table! It's from Ballard Designs, but I think Tuan will make it out of hardwood rather than buying it in pine. The pine (according to reviews) is a bit soft and marks up easily.

I really, really love the legs, and how it seats ten. Now I'm not saying I plan to have eight children around the table, but I want to have company to dinner without folks squeezed into awkward corners! I also think the chairs we chose below will go well with it! 

Whoo-hoo! Now we only have to get Tuan well so he can stand up and get to work. : )
