Is this the best style? Decor is transitional but more on the modern end of the spectrum. Can you identify this set?

| I really, really don't like that set. I'm good at decorating and that looks mid 1990s to me. I esp hate the chairs and the yellow pine. |

Looks pretty bad. Why don't you try a long yet narrow modern table? |

| Is this your only dining room or is it a breakfast room? You should always have seating for at least 6 somewhere. I feel really left out that my in laws don't have a chair for me at their 4 person table. |

| Driver's License or Realtor's card on the table? |

Agree. That is just awful. There are tons of dining sets out there that look better than this. |

OP here: Not my house or table. Got it from a listing that was posted in the Real Estate forum.
We are moving from an apartment into a small house and I am looking for dining table and breakfast table (perhaps one can serve both functions) options. I see a lot of smaller house having these pedestal type tables and want to know what other options I should explore. I have a toddler so want something easy to maintain. |

| A pedestal table is fine. Just not that one. If you get a nice looking one with a leaf that can be put in to seat more people, that's ideal when you need your space to be flexible. |

| Go with a glass table to crate the illusion of more space. We had a horrible time finding a small table for our kitchen a few years back but finally stumbled on a perfect one at IKEA. |

This is beautiful modern round table, reasonably priced. It also comes in a rectangular version.
http://www.cb2.com/silverado-round-dining-table/s116315 It's 48" so it can seat six. This table would be suitable both for family and guests. You'd want to use placemats, especially with kids. |
