re: Do you use your dining table?

We were given my parents' very nice dining room set when we built our current house. We never used it. We threw a huge party at some point that included a meal and still didn't use it. I gave it back to my parents right after. If we weren't using it for that party then we were never using it. Our kitchen table already expands to seat 12 so a formal dining room table is totally useless. I put a piano where the formal table used to be and we're turning it into a sitting room.

Do you use your dining table?

Ours cost 7k and each chair was 1k and we bought 8. We might eat on it 3 times a year

We recently converted our formal dining room into a large pantry/general storage area. We moved the table out into a more open space between the living room and kitchen
We have used the dining room table more in the last 4 months than we had the previous 27 years.

HighPoint more or less condensed into one store - Furnitureland South. They'll beat any non-NC price on upper end stuff, by a lot. It's no haggle, but they don't publish prices, so you have to work thru a sales person.

Absolutely!! I carved out a spot for a pole right in the middle of it for strippers. It works wonders for poker night, etc.

My wife paid a fortune for it, and we use it maybe twice a year when out-of-town family visits.

Divorced.
No kids at home.
Work a stupid amount of hrs a week.
My dining room table is a small sample of antiquetigers entire property.

Replaced ours with a pool table that has a removable dining top. Seats 12 on major holidays.
Posted on 6/9/24 at 10:07 am to GEAUXT
Agree totally. We use ours once or twice a year for holidays otherwise it’s just a horizontal junk collector all year.
Posted on 6/9/24 at 10:08 am to GEAUXT
About once a year

We eat all our meals in the ‘breakfast nook’ on the table
The formal dining room is connected to this parlor type room, and that’s what we use for our homeschool classroom and play room

No. I have a printer, stack of papers not yet filed away or in the to be shredded status, a disassembled flintlock rifle, box of golf balls, and some folders, and a few hand tools. I’m widowed with no woman in the house so that’s the w ay it is.

Me either.. no room for it. House too small... I need a bigger house cause I want one.

I WFH and the dining room is my office.
Posted on 6/9/24 at 10:20 am to GEAUXT
We only have one table. So yeah, every day 
That table is also the dining room table my wife's family used when she was a kid 30 years ago. I love having a practical wife.

Nope
Sold ours a while back.
Seems like they are going out of style. With the majority of families having to have two working parents, seems like the typical family doesn't really have time to sit down and have a family dinner every night. The rare times everyone is home together, people just decide to go out to eat
