I can see why you're so pleased - the table is really beautiful! Your nook looks fabulous!

It is lovely, Annie! The wood has a beautiful depth of color and just the right amount of grain showing. The shape is brilliantly suited to the space and overall it looks like the fine, custom job it is. Great planning and you are lucky to have a very good furniture guy!

Beautiful. I love one of a kind pieces. It's fabulous, I'm glad you stuck to your instincts.

Beautiful workmanship. It is a very nice table and looks great in your space.

Looks great.

Thank you all so kindly.

I meant to add that the segmental arch shape is a theme that is repeated throughout our house, including the kitchen island and the soffit over the island, and the flooring between the kitchen and FR, so we wanted to work it into the table too. I think he did a great job.

It's absolutely wonderful, Annie! It fits your space like the proverbial glove!

Poor DH. Yesterday, he had to take apart the old one he banged together out of scrap lumber that we used "temporarily" for 5 years!

This is beautiful!

Looks wonderful in the space and also looks very well built. It's a beauty!

Gorgeous! It's perfect!!

The cherry stain looks really nice with the cushions and the valances and the rustic base adds some interest without being busy. Looks great!

What a clever design. I love that you can seat so many people at the table.

The cherry wood is beautiful.

Wow! Very nice.

Ooh, I love the legs and support - just beautiful!

Very, very nice! Love the cherry wood. At first glance, it has a simplistic design that belies the genius of all the fabulous features within it.

Beautiful cherry wood! Glad it turned out so nicely!

Looks very nice!

That was really smart to get it lightly distressed. Especially for a table you will use every day. It is perfect there and the wood is so pretty. Enjoy!

He's a real craftsman, beautiful table.

I remember all of the discussion about it before. I think it looks great! That base is gorgeous :)

I like it and I am glad you went with a simpler top instead of some of the designs that were discussed. The cherry will darken. My table was pink when I got it. Very dark now, and it happened pretty quickly. Do not keep anything in one place on it or you will stop the oxidation in that spot. (Like a bowl in the middle). It needs to be exposed to the light equally.

Perfect!

Thanks, pal. I will be sure to move stuff around on top so I don't get a single spot in the middle. That's the last thing I want.

What a beautiful table!

What a fantastic and beautiful table. It looks wonderful!

It's beautiful. The arch is such a lovely, unique feature and so nice to see the wood grain.

I agree, very nice looking - and functional too.

Really nicely done Annie! Such a pretty vignette!

It is beautiful in design and execution!

Very pretty and beautiful joint and arched trestle detail.

What a lovely table! Perfectly beautiful!

Very nice. I'm glad that you went with a single, beautiful type of wood.

What a beautiful table! It's perfect there.

Based on pal's comment I got a brass trivet with felt feet that I'm putting my centerpiece orchid on and can move it so no spots.

Wow! That's absolutely beautiful Annie!

I'm waiting for someone to make an RV comment....

;)

That looks great! He did a wonderful job!

What a lovely table!

My orchid has been converted!

Ever since Pal mentioned about not leaving the centerpiece in the center all the time, I put the orchid on a trivet and every morning I move it to a different spot on the table. So it's now either a Wandering Jew or a Roamin' Catholic!

:)

Lovely, I like that it's lighter than the cabinets.

My table and chairs are darker than my cabs...

you did the opposite, it works well, and

it's very effective. Matching the table with the cabs

wouldn't have been as dramatic.
