Good Questions: What Table is Perfect For My New Chairs?

Hello AT,

Hope I'm not getting too greedy -- you guys recently helped me identify a very cool (and VERY expensive) fan I spotted in a catalog. This time, I'd love some suggestions on what kind of a table to match up with a set of Thonet kitchen chairs I just bought (left)...

My only requirement is that is needs to be rectangular; other than that, I'm completely open to anything as far as color, material, etc.

Thanks AT -- again! Jo

Anyone??

I have vintage chener chairs which are very similar and I think they look lovely with a Danish modern simple round table (it becomes an oval with the leaves in).

But they could also look great with something very dissimilar like mod white (ikea does a good rip-off)...the orange would really pop.

using a wood table might be too much wood-I would like to see a black or white parsons type table.

Room & Board has customizable Parsons tables -- natural steel legs with choices on wood, limestone, granite, glass tops. I also like the "Strut" table from bludot in Dark Olive.

I think steel would go best with the chairs.

definitely saarinen tulipp table in white if you can afford it

An all white long rectangle table would be nice.
where oh where did you get the nice chairs?

Thanks so much for these ideas ... you guys rock. Now I have some cool choices to mull over.
(Hi DeViscerantu, I got the chairs on eBay, 6 for $250, which seems like a pretty decent deal. Thanks, I thought they were nice too -- but apparently no one else did, no other bidders.)
