@demanda,
My daughter has a rectangular half of the kitchen and did have a rectangular table there. It kind of filled up the space, leaving not much room for walking around.
They moved that table into another room and got a round table for the kitchen area. It looks so nice and so much more welcoming. What I love about it is everyone can see each other instead of sitting side by side.
It looks like it belongs.
