I don’t have much of a dining room table as I live in an apartment which doesn’t really have a dining room. So the table that’s in there is a simple round table that could seat four comfortably and six very uncomfortably.
We use it as a general all-purpose table. I do sewing on it and my partner does his drafting homework on it. We play cards on it. We very rarely eat at it though, as we rarely do a full sit-around-the-table style lunch or dinner, so for the most part we simply eat while watching last night’s episode of The Colbert Report.
The table itself has been in my partner’s family for a decent amount of time, and the top of it is well worn down with x-acto knife cuts and tape. It could probably tell a few pretty interesting stories, if it could talk!
