Inspired by inns on the Western frontier where travelers gathered around tables for meals and were transformed from strangers to friends, the La Grange Friendship Table is distinguished by barley twist legs finished in a rich, dark Antique Varnish. The table top has a reclaimed wood character, finished in Barnwood, a multi-tone brown. The magic of this table is that you have a choice: you can use it at dining height, or raise it to counter height. Two 12-inch leaves extend the table to 84 inches long, accommodating six side chairs or counter-height chairs with both leaves in place. Taking the next step in creating a Hill Country family of collections, Hooker Furniture has introduced LaGrange. The anthology of bedroom, living room, dining room, occasional and home office furniture is inspired by the Hill Country region of Texas, including the town of LaGrange, one of the stops made by the Hooker Furniture design team in search of inspiration. The collection includes heavily distressed oak and hickory surfaces, extensive carving and scroll work, aged metals, sedimentary stone and primitive textiles. Each piece has a unique story to tell, while still retaining the authentic American character of the original collection. LaGrange is updated with a fresh new personality, brought to life by four distinctive finishes and modern conveniences for the lifestyles of today.
