Does this table look too big in my bay window?

[Iambacck]

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

You have a stunning, elegant room with a clunky desk plonked in the window. I’m sorry but it really doesn’t suit the lovely space! As others have said it’s not the size but the style, particularly the heavy black legs.

id go for something more delicate in natural wood with 4 thin legs, like this https://www.laura-james.co.uk/products/lowell-120cm-desk-frame-whitewash-oak-lowell-120cm-desk-top-whitewash-oak

You could put a table cloth over and still use it for work. Maybe linen with a subtle pattern?

I think the room and desk looks really lovely, cosy and relaxing. The only thing that puts me off about the desk is the wee stool, its like a backache waiting to happen. You did say it post you are getting a chair?. So well its all really gorgeous. ❤️

This is very pretty, and very good price. Would it look good by this window? I am going to return mine. Now my confusion is if I get a smaller ( 120x 60cm) sit and stand for spare room and a nice dining table for this room.

Thanks:) I am planning to get a proper chair. I just used the stool for the photo purpose.

My friend had this issue. Buy a drop dead gorgeous tablecloth. Pull the table further into the room run it the other way. Get a different rug a couple of small cosy fabric armchairs. Have some fun playing with the layout.

It just looks as though it’s been left there ready to move somewhere

It’s a bit odd, it’s an office desk in a living room, totally fine if required but doesn’t go,

It’s a good table but does it need to be in the window? It you’re ultimately going to move it into the spare bedroom then I’d keep it.

The style of the desk does not go with the style of the room.
You need a less 'officey' desk in that room.
Also if you like working in that room, stay working in that room - you will enjoy it more

I honestly love the full room. I would gladly chill out in there with the telly on. Xx

Too big, return it

It doesn’t look right in that room. If you have to have it in there then move it to an alcove or a corner.

When you work from home, it needs to be practical, yet versatile. And pleasing to the eye.

Looks great

I don’t think it’s the size, more the style.
it looks like something you pull over your hospital bed to eat on.

I also have a sit stand desk which I really value so understand why you like this functionality.
You can get more muted ones - white or pale legs, white top

Apologies I've no idea why Mumsnet keep hiding my innocuous posts.

No but I don’t think the size is the issue, it’s the height and the colours. Perhaps a white one would be less obvious.

Your room is nice the table is wrong wrong wrong !

What about these dining tables?

I think round will look better here.

I have attached inspiration photo here. Problem is currently my L shape sofa is placed facing window. I may have to put it hanging facing fireplace.

Echoing what others are saying, the table isn't too big, but it doesn't look right in that room at all!

!

Thanks. I like the idea but I am worried table cloth may not be very practical while working on the desk. I am leaning towards returning it.

Yes and wooden or white legs would work better imo Xx

It’s a horrible desk for your beautiful living room, the styles don’t match at all. Send it back.
