12 Feet Of Table
May. 13th, 2007 03:23 pmNormal tables won't do when the proportions of the space are so different. In Boston we had a dinner table made from two table stands and a custom cut piece of sandblasted glass that was 3 feet by 6 feet. In The Loft, that large dinner table that sat an ample 6, basically disappeared.
Finding a table that would fit the space, i.e. be ten feet longer or more, always ended up with around 1500 dollars worth of table, added shipping costs, and getting rid of the sandblasted glass. Instead, I went creative and found two tables at West Elm, an exact 3 feet by 3 feet of solid wood. They were not cheap, but at about half including shipping of having a whole big table, they would do.
( Then I got to work )
And oh yeah, don't try to move this table just by grabbing one end and pulling or pushing. You'll end up with very much glass on the floor, if you can make one of the end tables budge at all. The sucker's heavy.
