i'll throw my vote in for round stools 

i like the easter egg gems too

[Thundrim]

Round stools looks good. When both objects stay the same shape, differentiation issues tend to sneak up from under the table, and poke you in the eye when least expected. Besides, the tables are so often used for eating, so you would want the traditional square design there, to safely wield cutlery and afford broad swings with the ale.

Square tables looks more Dwarfy at any rate, and that trumps all rational thought. So take it out on the stools! Also handy for tantrums!

Best of all, when dwarves jump up to celebrate with booze in hand, the stool has a better chance of rolling out of the way if it's round.  Square stools are a tripping hazard for properly inebriated dwarves.

[Maldevious]

Definitely go with the round stools!

[Ironhand]

Consider it done.

I think I'm vehemently opposed to these new-fangled round edged things.

I'm not mistaken in thinking that dwarves love their chamfered edges and squares.. and that circles are considered inefficient and un-dwarvenly?

I have an alternative: what about benches? A rectangle, which looks good on its own but in a row forms a long bench?

quick and dirty:

[Ironhand]

Rows of chairs running north-south will look weird, though...

[Harmonica]

You're right. You spotted a slight flaw

If I think about dwarven seating I reckon they would use benches, though.

[Thundrim]

That Lord of the Rings movie over-emphasized Dwarven squareness a bit, to create architectural contrast or something. Not that simplification is bad, I am all for that. But roundness and Dwarves should traditionally not be mutually exclusive, how could you otherwise get a proper beer belly. He he...

I too am in favor of the round stool.

And that's why I think a custom make-your-own-tileset install helper would be great!
Square benches for me btw.

Great work!

BTW: Because no one commented on it, I post it again:

What do you think? Tile magic is missing at this point, though.

 Why add more work for Iron and Worm? I propose that if there is some tile a person dislikes that they can edit the files themselves to fit what they want. i am more than happy to use this tile set without placing any undue burden on it's creator/s

I already volunteered to do it some pages ago, after proposing the idea. ;P
Programming is not the work of Iron and Worm, after all.

Technically, you could make that argument for submitting a tileset as nothing but the regular DF ASCII tileset.

The round stools are just an aproximation of of a 32-side faceted shape with a multi-level bevel (or is that a chamfer?) around the rim. Becuase the IDEAL dwarven chair is a gigantic crown-cut gem that you sit on, in a giant gem-setting that provides legs. Or something ^_^
