Dining table connect from cabinet

Frankly, many of the concepts or beliefs in Feng Shui has more to do with common sense than Feng Shui.

Here:

1. Depending on the built quality; if the fixed side is not secured properly or mounted into the cabinet but rather screwed on with L joints; then there is a tendency for it to collapse; be it the constant placement on the table top or someone were to sit on the table top (whether deliberately or by accident).

2. On the other other; having one leg may not be that great an idea. One fine day, if this leg were to give way and the dining table is filled with lots of hot food and even soup; then this is a cause for concern if the hot soup and items should spill onto someone.

3. Such a narrow table should be considered perhaps more of a breakfast niche then say a proper dining table.

4. If the quality of that dining table is poor or due to heavy usage; if it needs to be replaced; more work and maybe some costs to dismantle it etc...

5. Common sense says that if the table as shown in the illustration can be quite long; that single leg may not be that stable after a while given that some one may accidentally kick it, weakening the joint and also if the plank is too thin, the entire table may warp thru regular usage.

6. A dining table may not be a true representation of one's career; but, like that say, every little thing adds up. Even just thinking about it's association with one's career can be a psychological thing - feel good or bad factor...

7. Perhaps, just imagine this scenario: one invites one's boss and his/her family over. And if the table should collapse and spill hot soup onto the boss's child; don't you think that the person will be in HOT SOUP and may even affect his career-

In a practical world; so long as the design and placement seems to work for you this is acceptable.

As frankly, there is no "bible" or "encyclopedia" to say that a dining table has to be of a certain fixed design.

Like our 2nd Prime Minister's wife used to say: "His (TT Durai's pay of around $600,000) is peanuts.

And this is in Feng Shui considered as "peanuts" if compared to some other considerations.

Dear CecilThanks for your comment.
The design is a mock up idea. The table
will have the size of normal table but
joint to the cabinet. Quality will be
corion top that will be attached
properly to the cabinet and the legs
will be a square type fixed at the end
of the top and also maybe another leg
with better design in the middle.I am
wondering this concept is acceptable?On
