I just purchased this table and bench from World Market, and really love its casual feel. Since the dining space is rather small a bench works well since it can easily be tucked under the table and out of the way. It ended up being a little bit of a tight fit, but oh well! We will eventually paint the kitchen cabinets, so the wood on wood won't be an eye sore. It does look nice with the flooring. We've pushed it up against the window ledge, and still need to add a chair (or two) to the ends. Unless we pull it away from the wall when we have more company, we can really only put one chair on an end. Any suggestions? I'm not sure if I should just go back and buy the chairs that go with it or not.
We also need to replace the light above the table because the existing one is awful. It doesn't center over the table in it's current position, so the new one will have to swing over and attach to a hook and then hang down. Any ideas? -DS
