A new dining table

I've been eying this table from west elm for a couple years now. Our old IKEA table has served us well for over six years. We entertained so many guests and created countless memories enjoying delicious food with close friends.
Moving to a new place is not easy. We have to build new friendship. I want a better table to help carry on the tradition of good food and wonderful conversations. This table just seems right. It took a bit of convincing to get Jose on board though.
There is a West Elm within walking distance from our apartment. In the store, the table is decked out with matching benches and chairs. We wanted just the table. And that's what we got.
The package was so long, we drove the car home with the box sticking out the back and the trunk door completely open. I waved at whoever was driving behind us at a respectable distance. Should've taken a photo of that. =)
The table looks so much bigger in our apartment than in the store. But we love it. Jose's completely convinced now that he's seen it in our space. The table is solid. It's very simple in style with a lot of attention to the detail finish. This would give more freedom to selecting the chairs to go with them.
