Article Surfing ArchiveBuying The Right Table For The Coffee Machines - Articles SurfingPicking out a glass coffee table for keeping the coffee maker, with my wife was probably the worst experience I can ever think of. Undoubtedly troublesome, it created a state of affliction after all. Both of us are extremely pragmatic, have strong tastes and used to respect our own choices and preferences. This does however not affect our private lives at all, as we are both sensible enough to allow some spaces into the relationship. Nevertheless, when it comes to refurbish or refurnish the house, such as altering the layout of the living room, or changing the shades of the walls, or buying some sort of machines, everything suddenly breaks off in a frenzied way. When we planned to purchase a new glass top coffee table, we felt exactly the same. After visiting a dozen stores of glass coffee tables, we could not agree even on a single choice. However, my sense of pride has allowed me to consider myself as the true connoisseur. My idea of a perfect glass coffee table will be simple, economical lines, with an elegant and functional design and a size that will exactly suit to the center of our living room to enhance its glory. But my wife on the contrary, with her aesthetic sense of imagination, wants an extravagant rococo - somewhat in the baroque style. What I rejected as outmoded, vulgar and inefficient; her eyes happily accepted exactly the same. She thought her dream coffee table would be made of glass and have lions feet with the corners having bejeweled coffee mug holders. It seemed like she was living in the court of Louis XIV and picking out the glass coffee tables for the royal house; for then her taste would have definitely been hugely appreciated and lavishly complemented. But whatever, I was totally against the idea of giving my wishes up to let her have all the right to pick the glass table as per her wish. Ultimately we ended in a fight between us before the actual decision was taken. Our fights are however, not a simple brawl that last for a while, rather it's a saga. Moreover, the memories of the last one make me shudder enough to let it come between us and flare up the tension once more. Eventually I yielded somewhat to my wife's questionable taste, and consequently found a glass coffee table that went reasonably well with our tastes, albeit none of us preferred it to a great extent.
