bitful

One of the aspects that we were most excited about when we moved into our new flat last May was that at last there was room for a dining table.

I was very keen to buy one straight away and would have settled for anything, as cheap as possible, just to get started. However, I managed to save myself for the right one.

We looked and looked, but nothing satisfied our requirements of dimensions, shape, functionality and design at our silently agreed budget.

So we raised the bar a bit, and found a table that we liked at Habitat. I'd link to it but their website is a mess of Flash-induced dimensions and I am not able to.

We measured it, went home and built the same exact volumes (closed and extended) out of occasional tables, bedside tables and settee cushions. We liked it.

So we went back to the shop today, asked to order it, and it turns out that every single store they looked up on their network only has one in stock - which means only the one on display. We would have to wait until August.

There's a promising link on the website whereby you can enquire about availability of an item. Unfortunately all that does is open up a form to send a request for information via email, which Dr B. did.

I'm afraid I have not got much hope to stop using our tv-dinner trays any time soon.
