What we ourselves had almost stopped believing: our table is here and I actually managed to get the chairs relatively quickly (for everyone who isn’t shy about ordering design classics over the internet, I would warmly recommend the HP of CASA Finest Living from Berlin – this site will be my downfall, just really cool stuff! And on top of that, an insanely friendly service over the phone combined with blazing fast shipping – a solid 5 stars from me!):
We are very enthusiastic – however, it might be that we’ll need a new tabletop after all. This one is made of old oak and unfortunately has a few flaws (voids in the wood) whose development we don’t know yet. We’ll see. My heart would bleed if we had to give it back. It’s basically only two oak boards – and you don’t always get those in that size, usually several are glued together for a table like this.
But finally the lamps fit the table – before they just looked way too oversized.
The kitchen is finally finished as well! Only the alignment and gap dimensions will be adjusted again in a few months (once everything has settled). But I’ll write a separate report about that here in the kitchen subforum.
