If you've talked to me about dining room furniture in the past four months or so, you know I'm pretty much obsessed with the Pottery Barn Montego table. Of course, I'm not so much in love with the price. But just for comparison purposes, here's what the table looks like...
I've been looking and looking for a copy cat that I could actually afford. I wanted a rectangular table that seats no less than six people, dark finish, turned wood legs, wooden seat chairs (so the cats don't ruin the upholstery by sleeping on the chairs all the time), and no small vertical slats on the chair backs (super country style).
I've been looking for months and I almost went today and bought a set I'd found, but it didn't fit all my requirements. I got busy this afternoon, though, and didn't make it to the furniture store. I'm glad I didn't. That set would cost nearly $1300 by the time I paid taxes and had it delivered. I looked at thesimplestores.com (where I found the TV stand I have now which I love) one more time and found this great set...
Including six chairs (all chocolate finish, no red ones :-) ) and delivery, this one will cost just over $800. I think I'll take it.
Pictures of the house soon! I promise!
