When I was a child I was very stubborn. I remember I would not follow my parents’ orders until I get something in return. If I did not, I would pull a tantrum and destroy things that are near me. This was how I smashed their favorite oak wood table.
I vaguely remember why I pulled a tantrum that day. I just remember that it was hot, like every day during that summer break. My mother had forbidden me to go play outside because she was worried I would get heat stroke or something about getting sick. So, I played inside until I got very bored. I only had a few toys and there were all Hot Wheel cars. Some of the cars had cracked paints because I play with them too much. I remember I had one favorite car model called Cadillac Eldorado Convertible. It was painted red with a fiery design. It was my most favorite of them all.
One day, I woke up and could not find my favorite toy car. I asked my parents if they have seen it but they did not know where I had put it. I got angry. When they left for grocery shopping, I took my father’s tools and smashed our dining table with a hammer. They were devastated and we had to eat on the sofa for a while.
It was a long time ago, but I could still remember the look on my mother’s face when she saw what I had destroyed. I knew someday I had to repay them. So, for their 28th anniversary, I bought them a new dining table.
Finding the right one
I was hoping to find an exact version of the table but it was hard for me to recall what it looked like. I remember the color, though. It was light like maybe in the shade of white. Then, I searched the internet for wood for dining table in Singapore. There were oak, maple, walnut, among others. I came with a conclusion that it was an oak dining table.
Purchasing online
Their anniversary will happen in 3 weeks so I still had time to order online at a lower price than in malls. I found this online store that has an in-stock oak dining table. I purchased their Circle Dining Table for 2,110 SGD. It was a small price to pay for their high-quality products. I saw that they also sell a variety of wood furniture. Their Singapore branch offers free delivery nationwide. It was so convenient.
Observing the actual product
When the table arrived, my parents were very surprised and they instantly loved it. It was sturdy and aesthetically pleasing. It had a warm and cozy feeling when you look at it. I was so happy to see my parents loving their new table.
I am so thankful for Soul & Tables for the seamless transaction and the high-quality oak table. In the future, I hope I get to buy more oak wood furniture from their Singapore branch. I would buy more oak furniture to match my parents’ dining table. You can browse their collection at their website https://www.soulandtables.com.sg/.
