    Got it at Home Depot for 97 bucks
    Fun to put together
    Got a cool tablecloth and placemats
    Stylin and extremely functionable
    I would take pics but I am on a cell phone sabbatical right now. I have been 2 weeks no cell phone, love it. I think I am going to get a home phone. I have a work phone and I will have a home phone. I don't need a cell phone. I hate them. I broke mine in half. Everyone thinks I do though. Plus I sell cars and everyone thinks you need a cell phone when you sell cars. Not me.
    I wonder if the car salesman get sour face from girls in turkey?

    cause i ain't got no window's and i ain't got no lawn,
    in my house"...

    A picnic table indoors is preposterous.

    /but tiki lamps would make it cool I guess.

    the assumption of convention and normality is preposterous. imagination and innovation alone make us anything a dog is not.

    around here we just go to the park, load it on a truck and leave... some kids are just going to set them on fire otherwise.

    around here you need bolt cutters because most of the city owned stuff in parks gets stolen so they chain it down

    i have a dining table in my picnic room.

    well "i" don't "have" it. but there is a kind of round glass top table, under the shade of the aluminum awning, on the patio.

    I have a glass coffee table. The edges are wood but it has a glass top and a bench underneath. I use it to put remotes under the table etc. it's not the greatest table. I don't like the shortness of it but it was free and it's been alright. I like hardwood furniture.

    i like shelves to organize things onto, tables that are tall enough to work on things or eat at, and places to sit or sleep. i like things sturdy enough to not have to worry about.
    i like making nice things, but i don't much care for people trying to impress each other by being able to buy them.
    i like technologies, because i can make things or play with them.
    sturdy and functional is a good way for everything to be.
    anything that is primarily decorative should be to one's own personal taste, or that of the consensus of those who share it.
    not to suit what anyone else might expect of it.
    a picnic type table to eat off of, makes perfectly good sense to me.
    a dining room that is not part of the kitchen makes no sense to me though.
    nor a living room, unless you have a lot of visitors,
    nor one bedroom being any more 'master' then another.
    nor a house being larger or having more rooms then one actually needs or uses.
    but a house that is a maze of many rooms is fine, if it is for many people to live in each of them.
    a room to be a work space, and a room for a model railroad, one to be a combination bedroom and office, one to cook and eat in, and a bathroom for every two or three people who live there, even all except the neccessry being seperate rooms is totally optional, and need not be larger then is absolutely required to protect from the weather what is done there.
    a house that is larger then the space the people who live in it actually use, isn't a home, but an institution.
