I l et him pick the table

[Strawberryshortcake28]

Me and my fiance bought a house together a year ago , we spent all our money on the deposit that it has taken us a while to get things we need ie a dinning set

We decided to hold of and buy the things we really want rather than replacing them
Later down the line .

He got a bonus in work so we decided to splash out on a dining set and chairs we both liked different sets and they were both equally as expensive over 1k in the end I gave up and let him have his way it was his money and it was still a nice set

I came home today to it sitting in the kitchen and it's huge ! A six seater and it makes the kitchen look so much smaller which is the nicest room in the house

It's only the two of us we have no kids and yes that may change in the future which is what he was thinking of but a four would suit the room so much better

We can't return it it's opened but I'm so annoyed I have to move it or squeeze past someone if I want to sit down how can I compromise!!

It will be great for entertaining

Sturdy enough for sex?

Didn't you look at the measurements before you bought it? I don't think you can really be cross about it as it's not like he bought it without showing you.

Sell it on a local fb page?

I would be very irritated. I HATE a cluttered space. It's so uncomfortable.

Have you actually asked if you could exchange it?

What does your dp think of the table and the kitchen now the table is in there?

Four seaters aren't really big enough for four people, regardless of what they claim.

Over 1k for a table

I hope it cooks for you

Is there any way you can put it so it doesn’t drown the kitchen?

I hate to be that person but I would've measured and measured again...

However it may look huge now at first, but you'll likely get used to it then when it's gone it'll feel empty

We have a 6 seater that folds and it only cost £160... that could've worked.and yes, but crazy not to triple check measurements.

I've also never heard of not being able to return an opened table before.

But, if not it's done now - annoying but as others have said, great for entertaining and sex!

Could you reorganise it against a wall so it's not sticking out?

Well he gets the job of doing most of the cooking then. Make him use the kitchen until getting rid of the table is his idea.

If you really hate it just write off most of the value and sell it then forget it. Lessoned learned - measure well next time and check it!

I don't really think it's his fault. The dimensions should have been checked before being bought and both of you could have done that, especially considering it's a six person table.

He loves it thinks it's perfect fit he measured it and is happy with it

I just think its too much and ruins my dream kitchen gr rrr

Wow you are rich.

A table for over a grand? What's it made of? Ours is a 6 seater solid wood and only cost £300!
Push it up against one side of the room so you only use half of it and it doesn't take up so much space, that's what we have done. It comes in useful for parties and Christmas etc.

Don't worry, in a few days he'll say "Well why don't I put it in the garage and I can use it for my {hobby}" - like he planned on all along.

Wow, I wish this was the biggest problem in my life right now

Let any future kids eat Spag Bol with metal cutlery at it from an early age and you can replace it in a few years 😜
