The one thing every home needs is a great dining table because as the saying goes, the family that eats together, stays together. By Damelza Harris-Olsen
But really, the dining table is so much more than for just eating.
In our home, its also where we get our work done, help the kids with craft and homework, play a board game or Boggle. Its where we catch up with friends over tea or some booze, it is the centrepiece of our daily home life and our parties once dressed – whether for Christmas, Easter or a birthday.
We make many memories at the dining table. The dining table is an integral part of many homes, and as such, it needs a little attention, a little more thought – no regular piece of wood or glass or marble will do – it should be inviting, functional and practical all at the same time – we looked and we found these handsome workhorses right here in Singapore.
