I considered this table as well but think the first pic is a better choice

I love the chrome table but you made the better choice. Good job.

If it hasn't shipped yet
Wayfair has it for $248.00.
As far as a banquette goes ~ I pictured more of a rectangle shape.

Since it's ordered, yes, I think it will be fine. I see tables like that on craig's list all the time. In fact, I have two I like the style so much. The only draw back is that the ends aren't terribly stable when the leaf is in. It's ok for adults, but I can't put my sewing machine on the end without it sagging.

It depends on the size of your banquette space, but I agree the oval will seat more people. You will like the rounded corners..I never understood the rectangle--sliders when getting in, often have to be careful not to get jabbed with the corners of rectangles. It is an unusual choice but a GREAT one!!

This was my thought process when buying it: everyone on etsy wanted $1,500 and up. I understand it's custom, but to me, that's just too muchnfornthe table, no chairs, etc.me just a table. The local gentleman I had come look at the space, I have a feeling he's going to be costly as well. Perhaps a nice custom table will be better, but I find that as we are reaching the homestretch of this new build and moving in next week, funds are getting very low. If I can go for even a year with this table as a temporary thing and save for a new custom one, at least I will have a table for now.

What are your thoughts of the light top because I have dark floors?

I'm afraid I find the use of an oval in your space a bit odd ... Are you sure it even fits. I also think the light top will not look right.

I know that's not what you want to hear but you did ask, and I'm being honest in case you can still cancel your order. Otherwise I'd have said nothing.

The light top would definitely bother me in the context of your kitchen finishes. I can't speak to the shape but the table looks a little large for the space--- although that's difficult to judge in photos without scale.

Forboystoo, I called overstock and they are refunding me the difference, thank you.

Kswl and mtn, I have no way of knowing if oval Will look appropriate or not, but I did go and look at some photos online and it seemed to look nice. Again, this may just be a temporary fix and for $200, I can live with it for a while until I can sacrifice the $1500-$2000 some people are asking for just a table. Seems like it might work as a temporary fix. I guess we shall see :) I will send pics when it arrives.

I hope it works out. We've all been there!

Hmmm.....as other's have suggested, oval may not be the best fit. Have you not considering a rectangular shape?

Hey Cloenkitten~ Good to hear !!

Let's face it ,for the cost you can now breath a little .
If it's not meant to be... no big loss.

You can take your time and shop around for that "I can't live without item" without the rush of "we have no where to sit".

Also, if you choose another shape you'll already have a base :)

Foyboystoo I thought about that! I really wanted a Corian top and couldn't find a bottom for what the entire table cost. So perhaps I could take the top off and have Corian attached. I don't mind that it is oval as I have seen oval ones in other pictures, however it may not look right when it arrives, I just have to wait and see. If I like it but I do not like the light color top with my dark floors, I will stain it. However, I must not forget, that my floors are also dark in my dining room and I got a natural color reclaimed wood dining room table and it looks fine. For $200 I am not considering it a loss and it's the exact size I need so hopefully it works.
