Tables
There are an increasing number of kitchens, these days, which include a dining area. Some of these are huge and fitting in a table is no problem, others are a bit smaller and it can be a struggle to fit the table in.
Sometimes a breakfast bar area ... in a fixed position ... can be the answer. It can enable you to squeeze in a couple of stools for perching, even in quite small kitchens.
It's always more comfortable to sit on a chair though - if you're sitting for long periods of time. And a table is more versatile in that you can have it pushed against the wall for everyday use ... but bring it out into the centre of the room when you need to seat more people. Or you can have an extending table.
The size and shape of the table can be crucial to making your kitchen design work, so ... if you need to entertain in your kitchen ... have a good look round at what's available. Here are some tables that Majjie likes. John Boos Metro Oasis table - a table with a difference(Click on the picture for more of our thoughts or to enlarge the image) Supplier: CookInStyle Guide price: £1,399.99 (currently free delivery) This is the table for you, if you want to make a real statement, in a modern kitchen. The reason it's a table with a difference, though, is that it's at worktop height ... so, if you're going to sit at it, I'd recommend adjustable height stools. It would perhaps be best for kitchens where you also have a separate dining room, with a table at a more conventional height. |
 Oakleigh Round/Extending Table(Click on the picture for more of our thoughts or to enlarge the image) Supplier: Pine Solutions Guide Price: £399 Round tables which extend to oval ones are even more useful than plain round tables. It means that you can seat a few extra guests if you need to, even if it's a bit of a squeeze ... then, once they're gone you can have your little round table back. |
 Richmond Oak Small Table - Extending(Click on the picture for more of our thoughts or to enlarge the image) Supplier: Pine Solutions Guide Price: £336 For the slightly larger kitchen, this is a very good looking, solid oak table - with a chunky look. The grain pattern of the solid oak planks has been cleverly used to give a patterned surface. |
 Romeo Dining Table(Click on the picture to enlarge the image) This is a smart little round table with a toughened glass top and a chrome base. Handy for the kids to sit round - but smart enough for dinner too. Its 1100mm in diameter, so not very small - but less than four foot. M&S will deliver and assemble it for you.

 Toronto Table(Click for more details) Supplier: Marks and Spencer Guide price: £79 This is a brilliant table for a small, modern kitchen, at a brilliant price. The white painted veneer finish makes this table eminently affordable ... whilst the chrome legs give that extra modern touch. |
