Wood Dining Room Furniture

I'm looking to buy and new dining room set. I like wood but the last set we had was very soft. I think it was pine. Anyway I'm looking for a durable wood that would be good with a little one. Any ideas?

Oak is hard -- any wood from a tree that loses its leaves will be harder than wood from a pine or evergreen. You can also look for a "distressed" finish (not perfectly smooth to start with, but looks gently worn), or get something cheap, like at IKEA, and replace it in a couple years. Or, put pads on the chairs and a glass top on the table to keep it from getting marred. We have a glass top on our wooden table, and while I do have to clean it after every meal, I also realize that a wooden table would be just as dirty -- it's just that the dirt would hide better. (Ew.)

Good luck, and happy shopping. : )

My first attempt at furniture making, after building my home and finally having a dining room. I also built a full 13 course basement to finally ...

You should hire an interior decorator - it looks like your trying to create a certain style! Who ever you ask during this purchase period will try to sell you the most expensive stuff rather than explain the ideals of fashion - which you are obviously worried about!

Price: $19.99 $10.99

13-piece wooden set

Four chairs with cushions

Suppose that United States furniture makers import $100 of wood and parts in order to make a dining room table selling for $500. The imports have no tariff of quota restrictions.


Based on the scenario above, value added in the United States is
$600.
$300.
$500.
$400.
None of the above.

$400.

Measures 15 by 15 by 25 inches each; 31-pound shipping weight
Home assembly required; 200-pound maximum weight capacity
Sleek metal stool base; seat covered in black faux leather

My husband dosent like the curtains so I could change them if the color would be to hard to match.

I think one issue you should resolve before paint is the fact that you'd bend to the will of another for a color choice,,, especially if YOU like the drapes.

Color matching is computerized and there are millions of choices.

I'd match the color, paint it on one wall, and do the others in an egg nog creme color.

Just my two "Sense"
