Multi-Use Table

A beautiful pedestal table with upholstered dining chairs serves a multitude of purposes. “If you’re a designer or somebody creative and you have materials to lay out, there’s plenty of space,” says designer Brian Patrick Flynn. “This is also an incredible amount of surface space to fold all your stuff after it comes out of the washer and dryer.”
