Custom table/chairs

I've been looking for a square table that seats 8 people FOREVER!
Everyone makes it in counter-height, but I wanted it in "normal" table height.

So when the Nebraska Furniture Mart opened in The Colony this spring, we went to look there. 
This location is the largest to date at 1.28 million square feet (or 22 football fields)
They have 546,000 sq feet retail, the rest is the distribution center/warehouse.
For more info on this company which is also located in Omaha, NE; Kansas City, MO and Des Moines, IA
Their prices cannot be beat...check them out at www.nfm.com 

We did not have any luck finding a pre-made table to our specifications, but we did find a manufacturer that would make a custom table. Figures!  So we are the proud owners of a custom table 54" x 54" and 8 tulip chairs, created by Daniel's Amish. The table and chairs are solid red oak with a New World Cherry stain.
The process included picking out the table size, table top shape, table top edge, table leg style, wood and stain.

We will use our table with 6 chairs everyday, but will have a place for 8 chairs when all the kids/spouses are home.  Now where should we put all those grand-kids??
What do you think?
