The emphasized spool legs of this dining table could read more modern than traditional depending on the chairs placed with it. Also, sometimes mixing styles can make your space look a lot more interesting, so keep your mind open to items outside your normal comfort zone.

This affordable console/bookcase can shift roles easily as your needs change.

Versatile storage design shifts positions, shifts functions, shifts perspective from upright bookcase to horizontal media console. It shifts from positive to negative space too, with a finished, closed back square and open rectangle on each of three fixed shelves (which also means it can be used as a room divider). Align vertical multiples dramatically down the wall, or you can even stack two or three on their sides. Engineered wood is finished in a new rich teak melamine. Also in black melamine.

This is a great table- the inset legs are a design element that take the overall look up a...ahem, notch.

Rare saal wood is reclaimed from old Indian railroad cars, restored, and pieced in a natural plank mosaic dining surface of raw awe. Supported on industrial metal square tube legs, blackened with exposed welding marks. Legs are inset flush at the sides and notched in the top, becoming one with the patchwork. Wood is left unfinished in its natural state. Seats up to 8.
