    That table looks lovely. Good legs that won't obstruct anyone. I don't know how you fit people round the edges - do some people get knobbly bits?

    It looked the same size a the other tables in the (charity) shop, they had.6 chairs round them. Cosy, but fine. Let's face it, most of the time I'll only need 1 chair :)
    And I think everyone will get a knobbly bit!

    I don't mind a knobbly bit for a pretty table and good company. We have a 'practical' round dining table which I dislike somewhat, ( though like round tables the most) and an impractical solution of armchairs at the kitchen table. (Ever tried to tuck in an armchair?). But I do like that. :D

    Our dining table is oval ended with straight edges. Useful for squeezing people around, but impossible to add a table to the end of it.

    Your chairs look like our chairs. Got rid of the table though.

    When I was young I HATED being on a separate table on such occasions. Now I'd unite like it. :D

    Interesting article about how typed emoticons are recognised by the brain one way round but not reversed.

    They came from different shops.

    I really wanted that table, but the chairs John Lewis were selling with it were too expensive.

    I still do. They only make sense to me the right way round (-:
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.
