I say wood, because I'm a wood gal.  BUT, I definitely caused my brother some stiches by chasing him until he fell on the rounded edge of our wood coffee table as children, so you're never really safe!  (He still has the scar above his eye to prove it).

The wood is going to be more difficult to select, though.  You have those lovely wood floors, and the wood of the new beautiful chair that sits by the alcove, and are the other two conversational chairs natural dark wood or black-painted wood?  You just have to decide what kind of wood ties those woods together and complements them.

And I've just said wood so many times it doesn't seem like a word anymore.
