We had a dinette in our Eagle 215SD for 18 years and it was bit crowded because of the size of the FW. We decided that we would like a "free-standing" table and chairs this time around so that's what we got. Haven't regretted it one bit. Our FW has more than enough storage without having to have under the bench storage. Our chairs came with a little strap for wrapping around the legs and the table to keep the chairs from moving. DW made some little booties for the legs so they wouldn't scratch the table pedestal. Works for us very well.
