Dining Room Table Recommendation? - Page 2

I like the Saarinen in a lightly veined marble, but only with the vintage bases that are matte and sometimes have a slightly yellow tinge. The new ones with the shiny super white bases are better with other tops.

Personally, the Saarinen I think is worth either saving for or "not eating for a couple days" for. As a round table, if that's what you need, it's fantastic. In his range, I think he could do far worse than: The latter, unfortunately, still comes in at 2k. The Cherner is a great bet too. I'm not terribly fond of the Risom.

What about the Knoll Platner? A little big?

Not terribly fond of a glass dining room table, but I do like the base. Unfortunately probably too big for my space.

I think I am going to try and track down the Olsen set. At some of the high end furniture stores I have seen them for $5K - $7K, but they seem to go for $~1,500 on ebay.

Glass sucks. Get wood. I know nothing about these froofy designers so that'll be my contribution. Good luck.

Since this thread already exists, I'd like to piggyback but with a different criteria set:

- PRICE: >$4K Amurrican
- SIZE: <5 feet
- SHAPE: rectangle
- FEATURES: clean lines, solid wood top (no leafs, unless they're side extensions)

I have looked at this one from Jesse:

I like this one as well:

Anyone have other suggestions?

You'll maybe like this one too then...if I had a need for a coffee table and some low stools, I'd be all over this...

+1 for laminate on the tulip

i think marble looks great (and have it on a side) but its not as hard wearing or durable as the laminate. fine edges chip easily and the top scratches- not a relaxing table to have guests (especially children) at.
