I suggest a nice table and chairs that are kids sized. 20" table or so, 12" high chairs. This would be comfortable enough for you to sit with the kids, and if you have an infant, you can use a clip-on chair (I picked up some older Graco Tot-locs on Ebay. The newer soft sided ones were crappola)

If it's in your budget, I'd go with Community Playthings. Their stuff is well built and beautiful to look at.

They are pricey, but in my mind, well worth it. I hate having that overly "daycare" looking stuff in my shared area. a 30x44 table would seat 6 comfortably.

Another option would be to comb some garage sales (surely some this weekend), and find a decent used dinner table-all wood, rectangle, about that size, and cut the legs off. Then you could order wooden, small chairs from Amazon. That would look nice, and probably be a lot cheaper.

Here's some:

I would avoid children's tables made for home use, though, because they tend to be too lightweight. They end up getting scootched around easily, aren't big enough, and would not support a clip-on chair.
