After years and years putting up with hand-me-down dining room furniture, table held together with duct tape, chairs with bungee cord stabilizers, and waiting to hear grandmother's fine china crashing through the bottom of the hutch to the floor, it was time to buy new. Nothing in the furniture stores impressed us.
The table adjusts from 5' to 9' with self storing leaves.
The hutch has a nice mix of ornate and sturdiness, two drawers and four cabinets below.
And the chairs (8) couldn't be more sturdy, and comfortable.
I highly recommend Menno Hershberger at Deer Mountain Cabinetry, 2222 St Rte 36, Jasper, NY. They list kitchen cabinets and bedroom suites as their specialty.
Thanks, Nick Morehouse, for helping me pickup and deliver this furniture.
