    Sitting on the floor does have benefits, but, it'd need cleaning floor before and after the meal. I am more like once a week cleaning except for the cooking area.

    That would be my formal dining. Always tons of stuff on it. One December in a fit of "simpler living" got rid of it. Now that stuff has migrated to other flat areas in living room and kitchen. : ) But somehow regular dining table is mostly stuff-free.

    : ) I was trying to tell my kids how small most houses used to be. They visited only my native place, so they saw the big old house. When I explain how I had one shelf in the bookshelf for myself, one small table to study (which became ironing table on Sunday), and horror of horrors, one toilet, one sink, one bathroom, they go :eek:

    There was no dining table at all. We all sit on the floor and eat.
    If second serving is needed, we take the plate to the kitchen.
    Have eaten food prepared using traditional stoves, then kerosene stoves and then after a long time, later - indane gas stoves. Food prepared in mud pots are tastier than the metal vessels. Similarly, chutneys and other masalas that are ground using traditional manual stone grinders are much more tastier than those that are prepared using mixies nowadays. Thanks for the reminiscent of childhood eating styles.

    We don't have assigned seating, but each of us somehow gravitates to our particular spot.

    We used to do breakfast on dining table.. My dad always sit in one particular place and I try my best to occupy hisnext chair, because I always imitate him while having just for fun.. still I can feel the glimpse of his smile of that time.

    Have lots of memories in dining area.. I will stop here :)

    No gadgets is the great one, cost/design can't beat it, but yes for comfort..

    Try it try it and let us know the experience (without gadgets) :thumbup:
