Dining Table
After searching high and low, we came out with 2 finalist.
1. Teak Land -
kopitiam table
lai kopi siew tai! A solid old school (kopitiam style) solid teak round table with a marble top. Like the fact that it is really retro looking, round and solid. Shuyi mention that it feels Pernankan.
2.
Ikea -
Jokkmokk (
smlj name?!)
simple, uncluttered & god damn cheap
A simple country style solid pine wood dining table. Pine is not exactly the hardest of woods and the table did not pass the fingernail test (for scratch resistance) with flying colors. But priced at 1/5 the price of the teak table, we might be able to forgive it.
Sept 08: The kopi has landed. We specified that the chair's backrest be left without any carvings as they actually feel uncomfortable when you rest on them.
