The Table of Tables

Rugged and utilitarian, this table is sure to please any diner or craftsman. Suitable for a wide array of activities from eating to carpentry, it will wow your guests and leave them hungry for more. This is one table you do NOT want to miss, so check it out wherever tables are sold.

Frankly, I don't know a lot about this table, but the round design and angular legs evoke the "spirit of the American table". It wouldn't be out of place on a spaceship, or in someone's nice garage. What I do know is that it hearkens back to simpler days when tables were round, food was good, and you could drink from the hose. Can you afford to pass up this whopper of a table? I didn't think so.

This is the only table on this list that I have received a personal testimonial on. It's the Ikea Lack table and my friend Drew has 2 of them. At first, I didn't understand the appeal of Lack. "It's just an end table," I said, not understanding. But the more I saw the more I understood. Lack is a simple table which will not detract from your other furniture. It will not steal the show, but it is an economical and useful addition to any room.

Here's a real classic. Well-maintained, this beefy table is a definite win. It can accomodate up to 5 diners (if you don't mind getting a little personal, you might be able to fit 6) and would look good in a variety of different rooms, from the breezeway to the davenport. This one is better suited for a ranch-style or split level home since it looks heavy. Have fun now!

This table is more of a desk than a table. While I'm a fan of the design, I have to say the support structure on either end would make diners at the heads of the table uncomfortable. Perhaps this is one for the office!
