What have people got?
I've narrowed it down to 3 styles. FYI the room is currently a blank canvas with cream carpets and magnolia walls.
Thoughts?

Don't you think it looks a bit cheap? Despite being the most expensive at £1k with no chairs

Can't tell from that picture, is it that laminate stuff?
If so you're right, I'd change to 3 in a lighter wood.

Not sure, the website doesn't say. I just think it looks a bit flimsy?
3 in a lighter wood is essentially 2 (they are made by the same company and as far as my eyes can tell, they are the same design other than the chairs).

I would also like to add this to the mix:

This has points knocked off for being the only one that isn't extendable.

I've had a look at the site for the first one and I can see what you mean about cheap, it looks like it's the sort of laminate covering you get on much cheaper stuff.
The second 2 are quite a common style from my walking about furniture shops the past couple of weeks, can't really go wrong with them.
I can see at least one difference, the legs on the second continue through to the top of the table, on the first the table top is on top of the legs.

Next one looks good, would be expensive with 200 quid chairs though.

£200 for 2 chairs.
So about £1k for table and 6 chairs.

That's not bad then, I read as £200 each.
