I'll admit it's a bit more square but square doesn't necessarily mean bad. I'm trying to keep to the shape as much as possible, but it was a decision I made based on the design I was going with. I ended up rounding it off anyways. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by lost charm.
Noise and busyness seems to be an issue here, and I'm going to try to resolve it. Mostly with the floor, however. I may lessen the detail going on with the table, though.
