November 2 years ago we had decided at last to replace the 8x4 28mm MDF sheet that has sat vertically in the back room for most of the last 20 years, and replace it with a large Table and chairs for the up coming Xmas meal. Previously we had 2 small gateleg tables as supports, which were both good quality but in need of some tlc.
Plenty of large tables in varius designs available on FB market place, and for a princely £200 picked up 8 fabric coverered Oak chairs and matching very heavy table in as new condition. Probably originally Oak FL or similar. Only mistake was that really should have bought an extending table, to make best use of room space.
Covid struck, and so far has meant that the greatest number of people that have sat down to a meal at the 'new' table has been 2! At least the mdf finally went this xmas but I had to get 2 people in to take it away.
