I want a dining room table in oak with 4 chairs and a bench please

[northerner]

Seen one in a home magazine (out of my price range) but not seen any in the shops.

OK, guess it doesn't have to be Oak, but you get my drift.

Anyone any ideas?

Why a bench? What sort of bench - with a back or without?

Without a back.

Just saw it in a home mag and it looked gorgeous. I think it will be useful when entertaining family as you can squeeze lots of kids on the bench.

You could try a pine shop - went to one (hampshire) last weekend and they had loads of oak in - man said oak was the new pine !!

oh, I've seen a great dining table with bench in Lohn Lewis. might be worth a look?

Loads of oak at pine solutions lol!

I've recently bought a light oak table for my kitchen with 4 ladderback chairs with leather seats. Its from a range called Old Charm (naff name but fantastic furniture. You can get benches too.

Ok, I can't do links, but the JL one is online and is the maharani range. The wood's not oak but sheesham (???). I've seen this table in RL and it's GORGEOUS.

Ikea also do tables with benches.

Definately good for fitting lots of children on.

Doncaster Pine Workshops have some gorgeous oak furniture in. We spent a small fortune on a coffee table, sideboard and TV table.
(see, another reason why Donny is great!)
Bit too far from Harrogate though?

this is almost identical to our sideboard

Just had a look at Old Charm - but it's a bit pricy.
Amm off to look at JL website.

Hmm. The Maharani is nice, but not quite waht I'm looking for.

I know in my head what I want! Soething a bit lighter, more contempary rather than traditional.

this one is lovely

Look at the Chateau range This is nice but a bit casual.

Yes Gingerbear I like that one.

We got an oak table and bench from habitat. Radius range. Not cheap but lovely and robust and the bench does indeed fit lots of children on it.

£825 with 6 chairs . No bench though.

No bench to go with it though, maybe if you rang them and asked?
(Our Oak table was made to measure from a local pine shop)

This is oak: cargo and has matching chairs for £90. Not too badly priced for solid oak.

Or Habitat? they make a solid oak table (Radius) for £550 in a contemporary style, which has a matching bench. You need to search their site to see what I mean.

Yeah I really like the Habitat one. Just thinking, if we had a dinner party without kids, I'd have to put adults on the bench. Would that be OK?

Adults sit on the bench in my kitchen quite happily northerner!

Yes I have a dark oak table in my dining room with only 2 benches so everyone has to sit on them (ok I do have 2 chairs which can go at either end in the case of anyone unable/unwilling)

I've just seen a lovely one on the Barker and Stonehouse website

Laura Ashley sale has 1/2 price furniture - or did last week.

here Bit (a lot!)pricey but sure similar were in sale in shop
