My family needs a new dining room table because we are all eating on TV trays . We really want to be able to have family meals around a table . We go to the local furniture store and find exactly what we want for $ 2500 . The gentleman at the store says he will finance the table for us for $ 175 a month for 18 months . If I do this , how much TOTAL will I pay for the dining room table ? Is there a better option ? If so , explain .​
