You're welcome. In our kitchen we have an antique table that was originally built as a work table. It's 3x5, and we've had many dinner parties where we've sat six at it. No, it's not for sale ... well, most things are for sale for the right price.;-)

Have you ever thought of building a table? Big D built a heart pine dining table for our dining room at the beach. He copied it from one I'd seen that was too expensive, and he made it the exact size that we needed for the room. He also did a faux black cherry finish on it. It took him two weekends to make it.

I've heard that Big D builds furniture. What a man, you have there BR! ;-)

Thanks! He enjoys making furniture -- it's therapeutic for him. And I love the table and other furniture he's made.

Oh, and there's no knee-bumping problems with a three-foot wide table. We sit across from each other (in the 3' direction), he's 6'8", I'm 5'10", and we've never bumped knees ... at the table, that is.

Bumping knees at the table.....aka prelude to desert. ;-)

I'm not very helpful, but next time I'm in town I'll bring my folding tv tray in case I get invited and this isn't finished. Good luck skunky. Hey I can eat standing up too, no biggie.

Is the dining room a "room" or just an area?

3'-0" is a minimum - seems like a lot of room until you push away from the table after a meal and try to maneuver out of your seat. Assuming your chair is 14-20" deep that leaves you 16-22" to work with when your chair is flush w/ the wall (and probably scraping it).

We are going to bring our own tape measure to the next meal, and measure for accuracy.

You are the best gullfriend. Measure before the meal, because after the wine, things can get confusing with the tape measure.

You have it, IBD! TV trays! Skunky and Punzy can rig them all together just like tents on the beach. And they wouldn't even have to break them down at dusk.
