So 'er indoors has decided that she would like a new dining table in time for Christmas when the in-laws come for lunch, having seen what is available and the price I have decided to make this a project. I intend to design and build a dining table that will seat 6-8 comfortably, complete with chairs.
However the two of us differ in what we like (we all know this is a pointless exercise as they always get what they like) however, some input from people off here who may have experience in this matter would be appreciated...
My idea would be to go for something rustic, maybe acquire an old oak door and set this on an elaborate, black powder coated frame, the missus would prefer something stainless steel framed with a glass surface. I kinda like the idea of a glass surface but I am not really too happy about a stainless steel frame, I just think its a crazy amount of work to polish it up and it doesnt match the rest of the room.
Anyway, apologies for wibbling on I will post some designs in progress shortly.
