Our New Dining Room Set

After shopping around for a dining table, we finally found one that fit our criteria:

• Shape of table needed to be round or boat, not square or oval
• Expandable so our space is not overwhelmed by the set, but we can can sit 6-8 people when needed
  
• Chairs needed to be low profile, not high back formals (difficult to find)
• Size needed to fit our space (another difficult criteria)
• And of course the price needed to fit our budget
  

I know, it is a lot of criteria, but when space is at a premium, finding the right furniture is crucial. I am pleased that no new trees were logged for our dining set, we bought it used. The dining set is Danish so it has a modern flare and is made out of solid teak. It has a butterfly leaf (so I don't have to find closet space to store the leaf, big plus). We have 6 matching chairs, but can fit 8 around the table. So far, I am really happy with the table, it makes our space much more finished. The wood color ties to the current kitchen cabinets and the fence outside the window. The table definitely softens the age of our cabinets (original 1972). The pictures below show the table without the leaf; with the leaf, the table extends an additional 18".
