We designed the dining space in the house to accept up to a 9-foot long table. Our new choice arrived last week. This is the Sara Dining Table from Hay Studio in Denmark. Top dimensions are roughly 3-ft by 8-ft with room to seat eight. Base is constructed of tubular stainless steel - legs are 1-inch diameter and the trestle is 3/4-inch diameter. Top is a 17-layer 15/16-inch thick exposed edge plywood with a satin white laminate top. Table is very sturdy with just a slight amount of end to end wobble. We wanted a one piece laminate top for ease of cleaning and a stout but "visually light" base which the stainless tubing delivers.
Our current set of chairs consist of 4 Emeco 1006s. We are considering a new set of 8 HM side shells in light blue or lime green with wire bases. We have couple vintage shells on reproduction wire bases and they go well with the table.
