I searched Wayfair for the perfect table for this spot.  I wanted a piece large enough to support many needs in this area (storage, board game or puzzles, extra eating, decor space).  It meets all those needs plus looks beautiful.  It is sturdy and rustic enough that I don't mind the occasional use of a footrest.  The top raises to store blankets.  The 3 drawers on each side provide ample space for odds and ends, boos, games, etc.  The distressed look is perfect for a sophisticated farmhouse look.  I LOVE this table and the compliments I get about it.
