Both very nice. The second one appeals to me more.

In general, I enjoy both formal and informal settings...they each have their beauty. In this case, I would prefer the informal.

I love the first one! I can see people sitting there, eating, getting up to get something, and being comfortable in that space.

The second one is a big no. The people on the bench are in silhouette and that's bad bad for conversation. And the people looking at them get migraines.

I like both of these, except for the chandelier in the first pic.

The 1st one a little to boring for me . The 2nd picture , I like the bench , however I'd have to inspect the other items in the room before making a final decision . I need a closer look at the chairs ? leather or fabric and those drapes with small wall lamps & bead board wall .

The first one I don't care for, rather impersonal and not cohesive to me.

The second one I love -- cozy and charming with the pretty oval table, the lighting, the chest and the curtains. Has a friendly, "stay-awhile" vibe!

I am not a formal decor person but I prefer the first room.

I love the colors and think the room is bright, airy, and pretty.

The second is just OK for me...the drapes and the lamps are what makes me dislike it.

I don't care for either space.

I just wish I could get my husband to eat at the dinner table instead of use it as a "drop-off" station for his boat parts. It's just not worth the struggle. He does at least clean it off on the day our housekeeper cleans the house.

There are things about both I like and things about both I'd change. For example, I don't like the ceiling light in the more formal room at all. Were I having to choose one room of the other, I'd probably opt for the second.

I really don't care for either one. I can't put my finger on why...but they both seem a little dated to my eyes.

Both rooms are attractive. Love the restful colors as well.

Thanks!

NO. 2 ... I love it just as it is formal or informal !!

Both are too formal for my tastes.

I like them both.

They both appear formal to me although the second one is less formal. Neither dining room appeals to me but I prefer the oveall look of the first one. I do like that the chairs in the second one has arms.

I like them both, but prefer all chairs..

I prefer the first one. The table is beautiful. I also like the cabinet on the wall. Not crazy about the chairs or chandelier. There's not anything that really appeals to me in the second one.
