RainbowSprinkles Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I'm looking for farmhouse style table. Anyone have a favorite? I don't think I'm looking at the right places... I want one that will last and is just one color. I don't like two colored tables. TIA! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainbowSprinkles Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/60152340 Does anyone own this table? If so, do you like it? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWOB Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Have you looked here? I have this table with a black bench, black arm chairs, and wood-colored side chairs. They fit into my old farmhouse quite nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntieM Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 DH is getting ready to build one for us. It doesn't look too hard. The plans are on Ana White's site at: http://ana-white.com/2009/12/plans-farmhouse-table-knock-off-of.html Actually, there are a number of slightly different farm table styles on that site. We like this one because it is so customizable to our space. By our calculations, you could build your own large table a lot cheaper than the cost to buy one already made.

wapiti Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I always wanted one of these (actually I wanted the 104" one, which probably doesn't even fit in our space, plus the big ones are even more pricey); this is the 65": http://www.crateandbarrel.com/furniture/dining-tables/basque-java-65%22-dining-table/s510044 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the link! If you do this and don't want grooves, use lumber for the top that does not have rounded edges or just barely rip the edges off with a table saw. I'm planning to do just that with mine. I want a smooth surface and am planning on using 1x8 maple planks (6 of them ripped to 7" width) for it & sealing it well. I'm also considering the apron and leg kit from osbornewood.com, but that would add considerably to the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenangelcat Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Can you or someone you know build one? Dh made ours from plans I found online. It was really straightforward. The pic of our table is here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Check this site out. You can search by size, brand, color, price, and materials. Shipping on some models is free. I own an IKEA Svalbo table, but it's not for a large family. I am, however, very happy with it. Solid wood and easy to put together all by myself. So, definitely check out IKEA if you have one nearby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraphina Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Since our dining room table is so much more than just a table we eat at we wanted something that would withstand kids but not cost us an arm and a leg, since none of us have limbs to spare. We ended up getting an Ikea table several years ago. We ended up with a norden table, it says it can seat 10 but we have had as many as 16 around it. It extends up to 105" and is a decent width. Although I don't necessarily like the light color I live with it, heck it was less than $300 and that seemed pretty reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuntieM Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Oh, by the way, if you are looking for a big table that will seat many, you need to also pay attention to the size of the chairs you choose. I have a 144" table that will seat 12 with the chairs we have, but we could have selected smaller chairs and squeezed 20 around that table. We might use benches with the table dh is getting ready to build, still thinking on that; it's the option that allows for the most...fanny space!

Parker Martin Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Have you checked any estate sales? You can often find very well made furniture that costs almost nothing. Our dining room table and eight chairs were purchased by a relative for $50 at an estate sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThelmaLou Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I would have one made for you particular space. Check locally for folks who use reclaimed pine, for example. Pioneer Woman had her table at the Lodge made by this company: (I know because I once asked :) http://www.countrypinetexas.com/reclaimed_lumber_pine_texas_green_recycle_furniture_antique_tables_chairs_lumber_wood_furniture_long_leaf_yellow_pine/Furniture/Pages/Kitchen_and_Dining.html#0 I had mine made to order by Philbeck's in Forney, TX: http://philbeckstexaspinefurniture.com/gallery.php Our eating area is fairly wide. I needed a table to seat 10, but couldn't do with a regular width table. So Philbeck's added an addition plank to the top of the table. We seat 4 along each side and 2 on each end, which is a perfect fit for the area where my table rests. I scoured the internet looking for name brand companies, but have been so happy with my table from Philbeck's. It's very rustic and distressed, right down to the cup rings (from moisture) on the surface (left by our kids--it didn't come that way). It's fabulous, and everyone who eats at our house comments on how much they'd love to have a table like ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has great plans and wonderful ideas. I plan on using some of her plans to make bookcases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
