Hi
Could you please help me with this dialogue? Is it OK?
(Two friends at a shop)
A- I think you should go for a rectangular dining table.
B - Why not a round one?
A - Because a rectangular dining table, unlike a round one, can be pushed against the wall whenever more space is required.
B- And what about the two chairs?
A- Let them be squashed? if you don't need them.
Thanks,
Tom
