I have a gardenia and love my columns :smiley:

When we were looking, we found a Wisteria that had all of the options that we wanted and I was sure that we were going to buy it, although we really liked the Gardenia. Our sales rep showed us a Gardenia that was a neighborhood "close out" which did not have pillars (the first we ever saw without pillars) and we grabbed it. We like the openess of the "great room" and feel that it gives us many options in decorating. Bottom line though is that you should go with what you like best-as you see, there are differing opinions! :thumbup:

Begonia columns
 

We have them and really are happy with them - I have a fairly large dining table and it is not problem at all. Just seems to give a seperation pont from the living and dining area.

I am looking to upgrade from a ranch to a designer. The Begonia is my favorite because of the pillars.
