I had a table made out o solid maple as tall a sthe countertops but for the sunroom. I ended up having way too many chairs for the island, 6 too many so my neighbor made the table, I made a quilted tablecloth to protect it from the furbabies as well as the stuff that gets dumped on it as the door everyone uses is just north of it. Once I month, I try to clear off the table but it's still a dumping ground for even me.
