Just in time for my kitchen table dilemma, CSN Stores has offered another giveaway for me to offer my readers. Since I first learned of CSN Stores, I have bought a hammock stand and a dog kennel from them. I've been very pleased with both transactions. I even had a chance to try out their customer service when the hammock stand we ordered was sent with some incorrect parts. With one quick phone call to them, the correct parts arrived in days. In case you're not familiar with CSN Stores, they have over 200 stores with pretty much everything, including bar furniture, which is where I found this lovely table. I had to start a wish list because we've found a grill, playroom furniture, fire pits, and light fixtures that we like.
The table above is really lovely, but I'm convinced I don't want another counter height table for my space. If you read my previous post, you know my struggle with choosing a new kitchen table. I think my first choice may be too big, but the other two choices is just a decision between black and white. Sounds simple enough, right? However, I don't trust myself with these decisions even after I take forever to make them, so this time I'm enlisting your help.
First choice, a foot longer and wider than my current table and with upholstered chairs (keep in mind I have 2 small children), but by far my favorite design.
Second choice, keeps the white/wood style, but is 8 inches shorter than my first choice. It also has wood seats that will be easier to wipe clean and rounded corners (good for both space saving and small children).
CSN Stores has generously offered my readers a chance for a $45 promotional code. There really is so much to choose from it's hard to do thorough 'window shopping', but I love the feature on their homepage that allows you to see what people have bought recently. You can also click on the sales and promotions or clearance center to do some great bargain shopping.

I like the first one. Just measure to see how it will fit. Maybe cut a piece of cardboard in the same size and lay it in the room or on an existing table to get a better idea how it will fit in your room.

I'm a follower and I think I'd go with choice #2...somehow that set really looks better in white than in black, and I think you'd be smart not to have upholstered seats if you have little kids [learned that one the hard way].

With little ones in the house, you might be happier with the black set. I think the white would show chips and scuff marks rather easily.
ReplyDeleteawesome prize
ReplyDeleteFollower via GFC. I once had a white kitchen table set, but found that it was really hard to keep clean (my kids were small then), especially the legs. This might be because I really didn't like getting down on the floor to make certain they were washed correctly! So you might be better off with the darker set.

i would go with the first one, if its a little too big it might be okay. i would rather have something that i really wanted. im following as msrodeobrat

I really like the smaller second set. The problem with black is that is constantly shows all the dust.

I would go with the third choice. I've found that darker furniture goes with almost any kind of decor and doesn't wash it out like light furniture. Good luck with whatever you decide on. It's a hard choice. Thanks.

Well, I like the style of the 1st choice the best. You can buy clear chair pad covers to protect upholstery, but I don't know how secure they are. I do like the black and brown color set. Dark colors may get scratch damage easier, but you can use those furniture pens or magic marker or repaint them. The other 2, you can buy chair pads, which are easily replaced. Hope this helps.

ReplyDeleteHotsnotty2@hotmail.com
I follow publicly on GFC. Okay - it seems you love choice 1 but think it may not be practical - that will be a problem later when you are constantly trying to keep it clean. You think choice 3 is practical but don't love it. Nevr get something you don't really like - you'll never be happy with it.
ReplyDeleteSo go with choice 2 - it's the best of both worlds. You really like it and it's practical

I like the black second set for kids. The first set, the seats will need recovering pretty quickly. Also, the problem with white is it starts to look grungy from little hands even if you clean it often. I have 4 kids so I speak from experience,lol. I'm a follower.
