I couldn’t find a table for 16 ppl at a reasonable price that I could afford.
Instead I bought 2 tables and then put a long tablecloth. No one but me knows it’s 2 tables.

This is kind of genius actually. My only issue is that I don't have such a huge dining room, I would prefer the type with leaves stored inside.

I got one from Churchill a few months ago for 3k


Same, really nice looking grey/beige color on legs. Four seats and corner and another 3. Extremely comfortable and after 1.5 years I can say it’s wearing very well… it’s a super popular brand but it’s not coming to mind right now …

These numbers are insane. Do people really spend this on furniture? Is the quality at Jewish stores actually different? Most of the stuff I see looks exactly the same as stuff you buy online from cheap stores.

I bought beds online & in a cheaper Jewish store and you cannot compare to the quality of the Jewish store. Way better. Same for other random things around my house. Anything that was cheap didn't last.

Same experience here. I do find jewish store furniture generally cater to large busy families whereas non- jewish brands are more to look pretty but not used as much.

I actually work in Jewish furniture store and I can tell you I see pricing on the same items from non Jewish stores they defiantly have a higher markup.

A lot of people on Facebook recommended the Macy’s Radley sectional. They say you have to go in person to choose the right color/material because there are a lot more options in person. I haven’t bought it myself so I can’t vouch for it.
