In last week's episode of Gossip Girl, Chuck Bass's dining table and chairs caught my eye. Not only do they have a hip, contemporary style that's perfect for a young heir, but they're also very, very familiar. Wondering where you can buy them?

A dining table is a big investment. So why pay full price when you can swoop up a gorgeous one at 30 percent off? Made from reclaimed railroad tie wood with a sturdy, waxed metal frame, the Viva Terra Railroad Tie Dining Table and Chairs ($278-1,468) is a beautiful set for a casual, rustic home, or an eat-in kitchen if you have a separate dining room.

In this dining room, classic modern Vitra Panton Chairs ($262) are paired with a traditional dining table with turned wood legs. I think this little touch of modernity is refreshing, especially for a place which, judging from the wainscoting, isn't a contemporary home. Do you like this mix-and-match effect?

I'm in love all over again. The Justin Couch Wilhelm Coffee and Alexander Dining Tables (inquire for price) have the clean lines of classical furniture, like the Brocade Home Silhouette Table, but their Rorschach-esque walnut veneer gives them a contemporary aesthetic that's sophisticated and overwhelmingly captivating. The table involved an exhausting process of cutting and clamping baltic birch, and since its walnut veneer was so fragile, it had to be cut with an X-acto knife.

The Tiny Living Case Dining Table ($259) is a table that easily folds itself into a case when not in use. It's made of birch wood with spring-loaded locking hinges and can take loads of up to 100 lbs. It is also available in another form, which you'll see when you read more

You might be surprised to find me posting this At West End Dining Table ($895) as Crave Worthy. But, this style of farmhouse trestle table is truly a classic that is built to last. Of course, it would fit seamlessly in a traditional home, but it would also have staying power mixed with modern furnishings (perhaps some tulip chairs and a glass pendant) for an eclectic look.

The dining room is one of the most natural rooms in which to place a chandelier. In this home, the antique wood table is beautifully complemented by this glass chandelier.

This table is not your average dining table. I'd say it's the mullet of furniture — business on the top, party underneath. Can you guess what's hiding beneath its handsome walnut surface?

This VivaTerra Railroad Tie Dining Table ($949 for the table; $298 for two chairs) has an elegant, rustic quality that would look great in both traditional and modern dining rooms. But it's cool design is eclipsed by the cool materials used to make it: The wood is actually from reclaimed railroad ties, made out of teak, pine, and other hardwood. VivaTerra has even preserved the weathered look and filled the railroad-track holes with wood.
