Saloom Dining Room Table vs. Ethan Allen Dining Room Table
Comments (3)Please read the following recall before you buy EA. Ethan Allen "American Impressions" and "New Country" rectangular dining tables Could collapse and cause injury. Products: 7,071 wood tables sold from 8/03 to 1/05 at Ethan Allen furniture stores nationwide for $1,069 to $1,199. "American Impressions" table bears model number 24-6414; "New Country" table, model number 33-6404. Model number is stenciled on underside of table. Hazard exists because table may be missing some of the eight small wooden blocks that are supposed to be located on its underside to add stability. Ethan Allen has received 33 reports of incidents in which tables may have collapsed as a result of missing blocks. No injuries have been reported. What to do: Inspect underside of table for stability blocks. If there are fewer than eight, call Ethan Allen at 888-339-9398 to arrange for free in-home repair. For information, go to www.ethanallen.com or e-mail company at recall@ethanalleninc.com. Ethan Allen says it is sending recall notices to all known customers who bought the tables....See MoreNeed help/advice on island and dining room seating & table
Comments (15)Here's another opinion. I am only 5'2" and I love a counter height table. A bar height stool is a climb, but counter height is just a matter of sliding my butt on the seat. My mom, who's 78, is 4'11" and has no problem with counter height seating, as long as there is a rung to rest her feet on, which most have. The idea of having your island stools and DR chairs the same height is very practical if you entertain a lot. People will often pull another stool or chair up at a casual gathering to join a group for appetizers and chatting. I will concede that most DR counter-height furniture does lack in construction and timeless style. I do think it looks trendier and not like investment pieces. We went with counter height in our lake cottage (where we plan to retire) because it really lends itself to how we live and entertain there. In our house here in suburbia I would not put a counter height set in our more formal dining room. Just wanted to offer up that, for me, as a shorty, I really find counter height seating very comfortable....See MoreNeed advice for height of this chandelier above dining room table
Comments (18)Thank you @JustMe, I understand what you are saying about ordering the singles. That certainly is an option. Let me clarify myself....we wouldn't be removing a coffer to hang a light. In fact, we would be adding the coffer. We toyed with the idea of adding a coffer to the dining room ceiling anyways prior to purchasing the light. We are the builders so we can add this at any point before we go to drywall. The ceiling in that room can either be a tray or a coffered ceiling. If we do put a coffered ceiling in this room, the base of the light could be mounted on the beam of the coffer. By doing so, the hanging globes would then be the correct height above the table. Sorry if I wasn't clear in my original post. So I guess my question now would be if the light would look weird if it was mounted to the beam of the coffer?...See MoreDesperately need design advice on dining room table for open kitchen.
Comments (6)My boyfriend put a tv there for who knows what reason (bachelor at the time) but that would be taken down and the blue cabinet would move. It’s a huge open area with living room on the other side. The open space area is about 12’x13’....See More

Try a concrete table. I have one and love the look...make sure it is sealed.
