::too many options

I've tossed around the idea of having my dad make me a kitchen table. I seem to having varying opinions of what I want. :) Thoughts?

I think I like a little bit more of a rustic look. This might be too light colored?

This reminds me of the Parsons desk at West Elm. I love how simple the shape is. No fuss.

I also considered something more like this bench with the slatted top. The only problem I could forsee is trying to set dishes on an uneven surface. I'm sure you could always fill in with glass or something to make a smooth top, but I don't know if it's worth it...

You can tell from this picture too well, but I love the legs on this table. Reminds me of the 50's for some reason. I might want a little more of a steadier look.

This is a beautiful table. It's no telling what this cost though. It was pictured in Elle Decor so I'm assuming that's one gigantic piece of reclaimed wood. All I can think is $$$$$ Oh, and I also hate those chairs with it.

This might be the one I'm leaning towards. It of course is the smallest picture and the hardest to see, but I love how thick the wood is and how the legs start closer to the middle and slant outwards.
The next two are very similiar in shape. Like the "Parsons table" previously, I just love how simple it is. The only thing I'm not sure about with these is that the table will seat 6 and with the legs of the table being so close to the middle I don't know, functionally, how that would work. I would imagine the middle seats would have some serious competition for leg space...



And since we're on the topic, does anyone know of a salvage yard here in Memphis? Like a habitat for humanity recycled materials lot? I'll have to do some searching.
