Does this table look too big in my bay window?

[Iambacck]

Tomorrow is the last day to return. So please help me decide.

I don't think it looks right, no. But if you are using it as a work desk it might be a practical option. If not then I would send it back and have a sofa and two side tables.

It looks fine

I think it look officey and a bit cheap. It detracts from the lovely bay.

It's not too big but it doesn't go, it looks really officey

It’s not that it’s too big but it’s the wrong table.

what a beautiful room!!

It does look cluttering in my opinion.

It depends what you want it for — I agree with pps that it looks office-y.

It's just not right.
Too angular and modern I think.

Yup, wrong scale and style. It’s a desk, it looks weird unless you use it as a desk. Beautiful room needs something else.

Think we have the same table, but it’s in a study. It doesn’t look amazing in that lovely room, sorry. I would look for a mid century dining table or desk, or even something period in a dark wood like walnut

The black legs are the thing I notice first, rather than the size. If they were a neutral colour it wouldn’t stand out so much.

It doesn’t look stylish enough to compliment the rest of the room, too utilitarian. Something you would have in an office block not a living room

Yes it’s too big and too high. It doesn’t go with the room at all. It looks cluttered and office like but I’m assuming it’s a WFH desk?

I think you need a more decorative desk that looks good as a piece of furniture in and of itself rather than something practical.

The black legs really stand out.

So do you work from home and need a desk? Does your work mean you need such a large surface? I would send it back and scout out something more traditional in real wood of appropriate size second hand. It’s a gorgeous room and needs something more versatile and in keeping.

I think the same about the legs.

Thanks everyone. It’s an electric sit/stand desk. I have raised it at the moment as I haven’t got chair yet. It’s in size 160x80cm. I used to have a very small desk so I went this extreme.

Should I get a small round dining table with 2 chairs for this space? And get a smaller desk for guest bedroom? I end up working from living room as guest bedroom is in back.

I spent £440 on it. So I wouldn’t want it to look cheap :) It’s an electric height adjustable desk.

I want something practical because I like working from this room more than from the spare room. But I also don’t want this room to look ugly.

This room is not done yet. I think I also need to change the rug.

It’s not too big but looks like you’ve stuck a piece of work furniture in your living space. The style is wrong, even if you are mainly using it as a desk it shouldn’t look like it belongs in an office.

Thank you ☺️

It looks out of place in the room. Yes definitely return it and then get something that suits both the space and your desk needs.

It’s a modern office desk that’s in the middle of a beautiful, Victorian room so looks totally out of place. If you really want to work in this room I’d look for a Victorian desk.

I got it for the spare bedroom but at the last minute I decided to put it here as spare bedroom is currently a bit cluttered due to relocation boxes kept there. So I thought I’ll see how it feels but I am having doubts about it now.

I need it for the work, but I also paint and do other crafts so went for this size.
I like the idea of a midcentury dining table there. Will look for that.

I think it’s fine. Yes it’s functional but it enables you to
a) spend more time in that beautiful room which will have you in a better mood at work than being stuck in a back bedroom, and
b) you can do so without a sore back as it’s sit/stand.

is it the ideal aesthetic you want? Maybe not, but for the reasons above I think it’s better than having a lovely desk or table that “fits” but means you can’t work at it or can’t work at it without a sore back. I’d keep it !
