Is an espresso or black dining set a bad idea with small children?




Question by pengworm: Is an espresso or black dining set a bad idea with small children?
We are looking to buy a new dining set and really like the espresso and black one’s we’ve seen. Problem is we have small children and I’m afraid it will look terrible in no time. When I see them in stores I see so many scratches on them that I can’t imagine how they’d end up in my house! I thought about maybe putting glass over the top but was told that would be very expensive? So should I just forget about the dark finishes?

Best answer:

Answer by pebblespro
If it’s something that you like give it a try.. There’s “filler” pens/markers to hide scratches that may occur in time.. Or cover with a table cloth when the kids eat to protect the top..OR have the children at their own table…

good luck

    putting glass on top isn’t really all that expensive… especially if you have a glass cutter shop around you. We recently got a dark cherry type finish and with a 100 lb 9 month old puppy it’s got it’s fair share of scratches… we use one of those scratch markers to cover them up… plus it gives it a type of rustic finish.

    If you have small kids, you’re going to have scratches and smudges no matter what you get, so … might as well get something you love!

    About the only thing that stands up to kids’ wear and tear and looks better for it is solid pine … the marks show, but for some reason pine looks better the more beat-up it gets.

    Yeah, I’m with you … I don’t want pine, either! I love the darker finishes, too. On the bright side, the scratches and dings are fairly easy to camouflage on a darker finish … just find a stain-marker or even a crayon to match, and rub that onto the scratch.

    I guess you could cover it with glass, but I don’t think you’d like it as much. And glass constantly smudges … it needs cleaning about every third minute. It’s also a cold, uncomfortable surface.

    Go with the dark finish … it may end up kinda “well-used” but I think you’ll be unhappy if you settle for something you don’t really like. Good Luck!

    No, its not horrible at all. You hear voice more than anyone else in the game. No one in Zelda speaks. Everyone grunts. screams, grunts, etc. are to his character. Mario also speak very often but puts few words together. Finding someone to imitate his voice be that difficult, considering how many people there are in the world.

    If you take and put mineral oil in the bowl it will float on the surface of the water, which then keep the water from evaporating as fast. It works.

    Literally yes, the dictionary says dining out is eating away from home.

    But commonly, dining out is usually in fairly restaurant.
    Fast Food is (which you said you took to the park) fast food.

    What will your girlfriend say? To take her out to, the Fast Food or have her wined and dined?

    Short answer: no.

    Longer answer:
    Rainbows are optical illusions unique to each observer.
    After sunlight enters each rain reflected off the back surface of the drops. The light then exits the drop and heads toward your eye. When the white sunlight leaves the refracted (split into colors like a prism) and the colors appear projected across the sky.

    Unlike rain drops…blood and mud are both opaque and therefore would not produce a bow.

    you can discuss how miami beach (like LA or NYC) tend to attract many poor young people looking to make it big in modeling. Every year I would venture to say thousands of young people go to Miami to work in the clubs etc in order to be seen and noticed by a modeling agency or some place that will lead to riches and fame. most fail miserably and have to move to cheaper of Florida.

    Another bad to Miami Beach is how expensive it can be.

    Actually, the most thing is the trend of the stock Look at a daily of your stock. If in a downtrend (bearish), then you are losing money by holding onto it. Sell it and buy something bullish.

    Hi sorry, if you show us your code i can delve deeper into this (or post the website address). I believe that the error means that somewhere a variable that holds a Price is not set. How does the error show? is it in an window? or given by another web page?

    Show us the code and sure someone can help.
