Round is the way to go for this space and you can still found one with leaves. I got mine 3 years ago from Ashley Furniture. Go into the store because they’ll knock a few hundred dollars off. I would like it but it’s counter height. You have an absolutely gorgeous home! More on reddit.com

I would check out estate sales and consignment stores for a nice solid wood table. Many people these days are downsizing so you will likely have good luck in finding a beautiful well, taken care of table. More on reddit.com

Looks really clean. Any pics of it from underneath? Any particular reason you ran the boards across the width instead of down the length? Nice work,. thanks for sharing More on reddit.com

After 15 years with 3 kids, I have tried expensive thinking quality furniture “can take what we dish out,” and I’ve tried cheap so “I don’t feel bad if it gets wrecked”. Neither worked for me— I stressed too much about the INEVITABLE damage to the expensive furniture, and the cheap stuff looked and functioned exactly as expected (not well). I’ve been happiest with quality furniture bought secondhand off FB marketplace. That way I can pick something of substantial quality so doesn’t feel disposable, but also I don’t feel like I’ve got money sunk into something that can’t be changed out if needed. If we beat it to the point I don’t like looking at it, I put it back up on FB and someone will buy it, and I pick something else for our next era. More on reddit.com
