A table on which meals are served in a dining room
(Dining Tables) The first dining tables of which survivors remain are the type known as refectory tables. They are made usually of oak, and one of the earliest, at Penshurst Place in Kent, has a typical thick top of joined planks supported on three separate trestles.

A table is a type of furniture comprising an open, flat surface supported by a base or legs. It may be used to hold articles such as food or papers at a convenient or comfortable height when sitting, and is therefore often used in conjunction with chairs.

Hollins House - Dining Room / View
See those windows? The views won't be QUITE as spectacular in the evening, but we could still get a decent sunset out of it. Our tables would be rectangular instead of round, since having round tables actually wastes a lot of space. I like the idea of rectangular tables, 'cause it means we have more leeway with who to sit at each table. Plus it's a little more social (I think) than limiting the people you can chat with to the other 7-8 seated at your table.

We decided to take the leaf out, just kept collecting too much stuff and with the holidays over, just us 3, so downsized from a oval that sat 8 easily to a round that seats 4 and a munchkin with room to spare, here is hoping we stop piling stuff on it, I oiled with some orange beeswax and feel like the room grew!
