Hi, haven't been around here much since summer, but my wife just gave the all clear to buy a table.
So shit just got serious and I need your help.
I have a budget of approximately $2500-$3000 cdn to have a table built.
I thought that would buy me any option I could think of. I was wrong.
I was pricing them out on various sites and with all the bells & whistles I'd like, some were getting closer to $4000.
Now I'm trying to decide what I'm cutting out. For those of you who built or had a table built for you, does anyone regret not getting a raised rail and, or a cutout for the rail? What about rail lighting?
I'm thinking those are what I would cut out, to get the price closer to my goal. Cause it's not like there's much else I can trim.
But I really like the look.
Here's what I was pricing online so far:
-large enough to seat 10;
-raised rail
-lighting in rail
-metal look cut outs for inner rail;
-dual pedestals;
-custom cloth;
-decorative nails on outer edge;
-in rail cups (no room for carts);
-black vinyl rail;
-maybe a chip drawer underneath
Totaling near $4000
If I remove the raised rail (and in doing so the cutouts and the lighting), I'm looking at around $2000 cdn with custom cloth.
My question to those that skipped on the raised rail, lighting & cut outs, how bad do you regret it? If at all.
My friend has claw foot pedestals so that's what I'm pricing. Love the look. And I have room for a table in my man cave so don't need to put the table away. Current table been setup where it is for 11 years no problem. So the legs are not something I want to skimp on. (Coincidentally, I think the legs is where the pricing fluctuates a lot. Are there any El Cheapo claw foot pedestals I need to be on the lookout to avoid?)
Thanks for listening to my ramblings, and providing your input.
