Adjective order is not set in stone, Chris-- and remember that exercises like this are totally unrealistic: no one amasses adjectives like this except in textbooks. In your case:

a few big round black new French wooden tables
a few big round new black French wooden tables
a few new big round black French wooden tables
a few new big black round French wooden tables
a few new big black round wooden French tables

Are all possible, depending on your 'authority'. Here is the google for ADJECTIVE ORDER.
