OK so we moved in our brand new house that we had built 13 years ago.
We got all new furniture at that time which my wife basically was running my broke.
We got a really nice dining room set in Maple Wood with 4 Maple chair with Tan padding. We also got the optional different colored chairs in Red, Blue , Yellow and Green. This gave us a wonderful optional look for our dining room and with the leaf installed, you can sit 8 people at the table which was nice.
Over the years my wife and daughter destroyed the top of the beautiful Maple table with nail polish remover and ruined the finish. They don't think that the remover can go thew a single paper towel.
This wasn't the biggest deal as we usually have a table cloth on it and you don't see the marking from the disaster of nail polish. What did happen is over time my wife decided to start throwing away chairs that became loose. I didn't know until we where down to 4 chairs and I told her I can tighten the legs as they are bolted underneath and sometimes come loose and just need to be tightened.
Well some of the chairs got stains on them and they went out the door as well. Trash man came and took them away.
So now I have to buy a new set and it's totally annoying going shopping as my wife doesn't like much at all thats out today. There is no Maple sets we have seen and we have been to man furniture stores. But I have come to like the darker wood tables and found a really cool set with storage underneath, Wine rack and you can put a leaf in it to sit more people. It's a Counter height or bar height so the chairs a cool has hell and you sit a bit higher. It's a square table instead of Rectangle and I really dig it. Wife doesn't care for it but our Dining room as taken decor to a French style Wine like room so the dark wood I feel really goes.
