Round kitchen table or rectangular? (pics)
Comments (13)Les (and all) - since you picked up on the arch/placement, tell me what you think. I bought the table above only, no chairs. For now we're using the chairs that came with the old table. I have two upholstered (armless) chairs with floor-length skirts to use as head chairs when we need the leaves. Head chairs won't fit under the table unless the leaves are in (not enough clearance with the table legs), so when we don't need them they serve as the seating in my pocket office which is inset in the eat-in kitchen area. They're beige, but I wouldn't mind changing that if I could figure out how to reupholster them (or find someone to do it.) I was thinking about these for side chairs, love the massive texture they have: (I can kinda see the arch in the sloped bottom) Cons - I do have a 3 year old who spills a lot, and uses the table & chair as a napkin. I can't imagine successfully picking out spills and messes from the nooks & crannies in that rattan weaving (it's hyacinth fiber). Your comment about a chair that reflects the arch got me thinking about the chairs that come with the table set. They have a fairly subtle arch on the back: and another view: I don't typically like my dining chairs to match the table, and I generally prefer a hard seat that I can add a cushion to, vs. a soft seat. But the shape on that back is nice, no? I wonder if I could somehow add an upholstered hardwood seat... I could always get texture from something like a jute rug....See MoreHelp with kitchen nook table and chairs
Comments (1)I recently purchased a dining table that came with rattan dining chairs: https://amzn.to/34SpaJu I didn't purchase the chairs because they don't align with my aesthetic and they were nice together. The table is a rectangular dining table that is made of cement and very expensive. #affiliatelink...See MoreTable bases for breakfast nook and bar-table tops?
Comments (56)Yes... I was originally going to make the tabletop 36"W, but after reading those specs on Arhaus.com I decided to widen it to at least 38" to accommodate the bases. The mounting issue was another thing I tried to discuss with the online "designer" and didn't get any help with. In this picture it looks like there are holes on the top of them, but since my top is 2 cm quartz, I won't be using any screws into it to attach them. The stone fabricator will install the top similar to how they install countertops to cabinet bases, using a special epoxy glue. But I will definitely show these bases to them first to make sure it can be attached properly! As far as other coordinating colors in my home, I am planning on replacing most of the existing fixtures (except wood floors) so I'm basically starting from scratch with the 2 tables in question, the tan leather sofa and 3 kitchen chairs I already have. From there I will decide on barstools, light fixtures, rugs, banquet cushions and other accessories, incorporating an accent color or 2 in some of those. Interesting idea to do the bar table legs in an fun accent color, but I think choosing that now would be putting the cart before the horse! Maybe I'll skip that step for now and keep the existing black legs that are on it (knowing that they will eventually be changed) until I choose my kitchen table base and barstools. Does anyone else think the brass bases might look more (or too) formal than the black ones?...See Morehelp me with kitchen table/nook area please.
Comments (21)Appreciate your ideas and encouraging comments. :). A little back story of the tree limb: my brother in law, Mike saved this piece of wood in his Oregon home before he passed away suddenly and unexpectedly last year. We helped the family move my sister back home to IL and I couldn’t leave this wood behind. Leave it to “ol Mike” to find beauty amd art in a piece of wood. I suppose Mike had something in mind to build like a birdhouse or add to his garden with a flower pot or maybe feed the humming birds. I’ll never know. Mike was a gourmet chef, outdoorsman, nature lover, fisherman, photographer and swell guy. It’s only fitting I will save this trunk to make a little end table suggested. (Thank u’) Every time I see it, I smile. And all the comments made me giggle at the thought of Mike laughing at us in heaven too. Crate and Barrel might even try to copy the concept and then I’ll be able to afford expert design advice finally. Kidding of course. I promise to post some after pics !...See More

They have "Harvest" tables and all kinds of decorative options for the styling, so hopefully you saw the dozens of options available. In your original post, you said you meant to use this table as a work surface, so I'm confused now that you say you don't want a work surface. Here are a couple of examples from the John Boos website. These come in various dimensions, and there are many other table styles as well:
John Boos isn't the only manufacturer of tables like this. You might start by checking Nebraska Furniture Mart, Kitchen Source, or Butcher Block, all online, for other brands that make these little kitchen tables.megs1030
