For a long time my fiance and I used an ottoman as a family room table! I would say for about three years we didn’t own a table, that is because when you own something, it is yours forever, then my fiance won’t let me throw things out.
So the family room table was going to be perfect.
I wanted a particular size and color. I wanted it to match our family room wood ceiling and be of nice quality. I couldn’t find anything online in the shape, size, and color that I wanted. I ended up contacting a custom furniture guy! Everyone thought I was crazy, especially my fiance, and people thought I was spending a boatload of cash on it, actually the furniture at Arhaus, Pottery Barn, and Ashley Furniture were around the same price. This way I am getting what I want in matching wood for that cost. The construction of the wood is so impressive. It is smooth with no imperfections. It is heavy and hearty. It is able to withstand a lot of use and abuse. This is a table that I wouldn’t mind keeping forever. Someday people are going to fight for this table to be passed down. My only complaint is that it makes everything else in my home look cheap and gaudy. I now need to upgrade my TV stand, shoe rack, and end table in the family room. The family room is all remodeled with a brand new table. It just looks amazing. It was a worthwhile addition that I am glad I didn’t rush and buy whatever.
