Here are the issues:
Table #1 is the cheapest ($300 for table + chairs), but it is the poorest quality and does not extend or shrink down. I like the dark wood/light wood look.
Table #2 is not quite what I had in mind, but in my price range ($660 for table + chairs), and it is the perfect size for my kitchen. It does not extend or shrink, either.
Table # 3 is perfect in design and color scheme, but it is the most expensive ($800 for table + chairs), and I am just not sure I want to spend that much. I CAN spend that much, I just don't know if I WANT to, yanno?
