Are you in the market for a new dining table?  I love both of these.  They each extend to seat at least 8.  I love the hefty look of the legs and the rough look of the wood.  It looks like a few scratches on the table would just add to the worn look.  That's my kind of table.

The one on the left is a wonderful option from Restoration Hardware.  It's usually $2,495.00 but it's on sale right now for $1,945.00.  There are several size and finish options.  It's lovely and totally worth the money.  

But I don't have that much on hand for a table right now.  I just bought a bunch of bedroom furniture, so the one on the right would be a better option for me.  It is from World Market and it's $699.99.  I've seen this table in person.  It's a solid, heavy duty table and very pretty.  If you buy the World Market table, you will save $1,245.01!  Keep on scrolling to see the chairs I picked to go with the table.
