I asked sales associate David Kiss to pick his favourite dining table and chairs on our showroom floor. He chose: DC7150A dining side chair and DT6131A Italian marble dining table. Nice taste David!

David says he loves this because it "epitomizes the culmination of solid design and minimal aesthetics. The leather seat floats effortlessly in a delicate chrome frame giving it the slightest visual foot print. The seating surface is extremely comfortable with a rock solid frame construction. Proven comfortable for those long poker evenings." Read More

I love to entertain but I'm not a fan of cooking...my talents lay more in setting an inviting table, keeping my friends laughing and their glasses full. Its summer time and everything goes with Margaritas! Throwing the perfect party takes some planning; choosing the menu, the cocktails, the dishes and table linens and the hardest task; who to invite.I'm tired just thinking about it!
