We have two rusting in the garage, if anyone wants 'em. :-)

Our favorite thing consists of TWO of those heavy-duty, Formica-topped
office conference tables (bought at an office supply outlet) that seat 6,
pushed together, to make a great, big, rectangular work surface. That's in
the "multi-purpose/art/crafts/sewing/projects" room.

The upstairs computer sits on yet another of these tables. The downstairs
computer sits on a "computer desk." But most non-computer activities
requiring horizontal surfaces take place on either the dining table or that
one in the multipurpose room. MOST activities requiring horizontal surfaces
(aside from those customarily occurring on beds <g>) *used* to happen on the
floor, but dh and I can't get back up from that place very easily anymore, so
the kids placate us.
