I hear that Ben Carson is getting rid of one. Pretty pricey though.

Have you thought about trying a round table? You can seat more people in less space that way. If you get one with a small simple pedestal like the one below, no one will be hitting their foot or leg into the base of the table no matter where they sit around the table.

I agree with the idea of looking into a round table. The one you found on Craigslist isn't too bad, though.

I also like the idea of a round table, tough you will find more in standard height than the counter height.

The table you are considering looks very much like one we used to have --now in my son's apartment. We loved the counter height table in our room and wound up getting a round one.

Here is an old pic when I had a round/oval table. My thought with going with the farmhouse rectangle was to get an "island" effect. My current black table in the first picture was originally a standard height table and I added counter height length legs and bought counter height chairs to get the "island" effect ;-)
