Go get the leaf, grandma and your uncles are coming.
Nonono, it’s fine, see we’ve bought these half-inch thick cushions with quilt effect that have these little string on them that tie onto the backrest, so stop complaining and eat the Grey Meat and with Beige Vegetables your Grandma spent all day making somehow.
Too real.
I present you the German equivalent, the coffee table named Fliesentisch

I present you the Indian equivalent and idk wherever it’s called

As a non-German who has never seen one of those, that actually looks quite nice, I’d gladly put that in my house :p
As a swamp German: that translates to ‘tile(ed) table’.
not cool until you sit at this table eating your cornflakes with added nicotine.

the chairs were really comfy, but held onto any grease from the kitchen.

oh i remember those chairs. yeah, metal and cushioned. loved them but if vinyl gets a tear, there goes your denim.
omg yes!
and by the end of their life they are mostely fabricated in ductape
omg I had that table
The soviet equivalent, AKA the Fingercrusher. Fuck that thing

That table is the best table you’ll ever get. Will last for a very long time so long as it wasn’t made after maybe the 80s or 90s. So long as you ain’t doing anything rough on it, it will last a lifetime.
Though, growing up, we had nicer wood back chairs. I never had problems with them. Worst problem I had was always being the one who had to take a seat that was up against a wall, so I had to slide in and didn’t have a lot of room to adjust where my chair was, besides maybe moving a little to the right.
My family had this exact set, but I do remember the seats having fabric cushions you tied to the back so you weren’t sitting directly on wood.
My family got this set off craigslist to replace an objectively better dining table set that just needed to be refinished. Tried using cushions with them, but they were still a bit uncomfortable.
Saying that, the OP set would unfortunately be quite the upgrade compared to all the MDF and engineered wood that’s so common nowadays :(
Real wood anything is fucking expensive now
I have this table now.

Quality table and chairs are timeless
Lol, you can still buy this dining set brand new. Multiple companies made pedestal dining sets (like broyhill and thomasville) that were decent quality:price, which is probably why they were so common.
My ex and I had this table set in our first place. Except it had 2 chairs and a bench, which had 2 of those chair backs on it. I hated that fucking thing.
I’m fairly certain this is a stock photo of my actual dining set.
table is ok. agree about the chairs and how often they need to be repaired. these chairs make my butt hurt. literally and figuratively
my table is just solid round no leaf and those chairs are black steel backed
