I like modern/classic style. Recently bought a house so I'm starting from scratch. This table is the first and only piece of furniture we've bought so far. How about this one- http://www.crateandbarrel.com/furniture/dining-chairs/form-white-chair/s259465 I like this but a bit more than I wanted and the few reviews it has aren't that a great- http://www.crateandbarrel.com/furniture/dining-chairs/vintner-white-side-chair/s419527 This Ikea one is similar but not sure how the quality would be- http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70103250/

firsthouse...I don't know. They come up pretty regularly...but not so regularly that I'd guarantee that they'd match. Have you hit the thrift shops/resale shops/goodwill in your area? That's where I found mine...and NC was NOT a bastion for MCM design. Lots of stuff made here...not much SOLD here. If you are in the SF area there should be lots of thrift stores with DM style chairs. Here are mine...recovered: From kitchen table to refinish Mine aren't anything special...not a known designer or brand...but they WERE cheap. $225 for all six. Of course...they had so many staples in them I ended up paying to have them re-upholstered instead of doing it myself...at $90/chair...but it was worth it. If you want to search on ebay...try running two searches. One as "mid-century modern dining chair" and one as "Danish Modern dining chair." And don't forget Craigslist.

You are in the middle of a beautiful exciting time! I bet this same question on the GardenWeb Furniture forum would get you some source recommendations. I love finding a well loved used furniture bargain but I know how much time I have spent on that kind of hunt. I just checked Overstock.com .... I've seen in magazines recently furniture & accessories from there all really stylish and great prices. They ship internationally. Today there are not very many in your 96 inch length....I filtered for Rectangle shape. Most are about $200 but this one that is dark walnut finish (made of hardwoods and veneers, doesn't say what kind) is $720. I don't like the chairs with this one but on Overstock there are 100s of chairs. Good luck with your hunt. Living where you live maybe buying furniture online is for you. Years ago I bought my first couch & loveseat from a showroom in North Carolina over the phone. I talked to a design consultant on the phone and got the brand I wanted and chose the fabric from a local store that had it. The company I first used Furniturelandsouth is online and you could try shopping over the phone. They would send you links to 96 inch, espresso finish, rectangle tables, whatever parameters you say. That sure would save you time on driving all over the place. Good luck! Here is a link that might be useful: FurniturelandSouth search result for dining tables

Bermax sounds like EXACTLY what you are looking for (because your description is exactly the table I was looking for). It is beautiful, VERY high quality, and VERY customizable, you pick the stain, size, shape, leg style, apron, and leaves/no leaves style. I think they use mostly reclaimed wood, but not sure because the finish is so professional looking. The only negative was the cost. If I had the decision to make over, I would pick the Bermax. Saw it in NC (however, they are made in Canada) and the store had a couple dozen styles on display. Will try to upload pic from store of the table I wanted later. http://www.bermex.ca/index.php Looked at most of the choices already listed on this tread, some very nice, but the Bermax would be the best quality.
