In praise of - dining tables.

The lowly, unassuming dining table.

It's the scene for homework marathons; for trawling through old photo albums; for humdinger family "debates" and, of course, for eating together. It's the last piece of furniture in the house that places human interaction above comfort and technology. Devoid of enhancement, it simply sits there and lets the drama unfold around it.
