I have to meet with a customer tomorrow about a table she wants built. Trestle table, 6' overall top, very heavy solid base with no footwell. I played with it and I do not like the design, but the customer is an architect, so you see my dilemma. I do not want to insult, but I also do not want to build an expensive table that does not work.
Without telling you what I am thinking, what do you consider a comfortable overhang at the ends for an adult? They have four kids that they expect to sit on the sides, adults on the ends. And of course the kids are not going to be small forever. Give me you're thoughts if you would.
I may throw a changeable prototype together using the general consensious here and her drawing that she can use for a couple of weeks to make sure it is what she wants.
Gotta run......
