The table is never the issue. The problem are the impratical heavy and bulky chairs. I could put the table against a wall and use it as a countertop move it to the center once in a blue moon when I receive lots of people. But what should a do with chair to feel up a room?

    I did this. The only thing I took from my grandparents when we had to sell was the dining table. Too many memories to let go, and it's solid wood. Its a 4 seat table but expands to 6 if needed. Perfect size. Fuck those matching chairs though. Solid wood too, but my god, they are so bulky, heavy, ugly and uncomfortable. We went and got cheap, modern chairs instead, and it actually worked out really well.

    My inlaws have a GIANT 10/12 person table with matching high back solid wood chairs that they beg for the family to take when they are gone. None of us will have space for it and will see it more than likely donated/dumped.

    I am looking to replace my dining room chairs, and I just can't find any that I actually like. It's as if the general design of dining room chairs is unappealing. I've considered getting some comfy office chairs.

    It should be noted that I use my dining room for tabletop gaming almost as much as actual dining.
