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.
