Hi am just wondering what's the best option to have for a everyday use dining table? Preferably something easy to clean and maintain (not wooden) Thanks.
Hmmm, that made me think, I have never had any other table than wood. I have a glass topped out door coffee table, I wouldn't like glass as every day table as finger prints any dust very obvious. I guess the retro chrome and I think the original tops were some sort of early laminex would be cool.
Any table can look great but wood is warm. I have stainless topped table and a glass topped table both are so cold they make it uncomfortable to sit at. They are going soon....
Wood, wood and wood. This old table was found in our neighbours garage. My father hand planed it back to raw wood, which took him 3 weeks. He then put 3-4 coats of polyurethane on it. That was 35 years ago. I didnt want to French Polish it as I love seeing the wood grain and not have it covered during dinner parties for protection. Children have played, studied on it, its been used as a desk, meeting table, dinner parties, fixing table, sewing table, and has been the only table we use. Now grand children eat at it. It's never been touched since my Father worked on it and I still love its warm colour and the grain. It's patina is our family's history.
