H. comes up with these daft ideas... like he wanted a nested table set for years. I didn't care, so he finally bought them -- I hate the ruddy things. We managed fine without them. Now, they get in the way all the time, something else to pack up and shift before I can vacuum, the kids sit on them, and tilt the legs, H. tells them off, they kids do it anyway.
So now H. wants a dining table (folding, extendable type). We have 2 like this already, but they're not good enough (he says). One could be sanded down to look nicer... otherwise, we don't hardly use them, when we do use them we throw a tablecloth on top so you can hardly see what they're like, AND we have 4 DC who are brutal on furniture. I am suggesting we get some 'nice' folding wooden chairs instead (easy to put aside), and then H. can burn the knackered assembly of old dining chairs we currently use (battered, seats falling apart).
Are folding chairs naff? I was thinking of a sturdier version of this.
Or am I missing something? Do you have a decent dining table set, how and how often do you use it? I think another table will just be more clutter and something else for H. to shout at DC about not abusing.
Any suggestions for talking H. out of his dining set dream?
