There were screws that needed to be tightened, but the hinges for the leaves worked perfectly(and pinched quite well when I wasn't careful enough!). There were a couple of chips on the corners that I fixed and places where the tops needed to be glued and clamped. I added felt dots where the wings had hit the sides when they had been dropped down a little too roughly and damaged the aprons. They got a new finish with Minwax Poly Shades in mahogany and are a much closer match in color. They have been delivered to their new home.

Love that style of end tables. Glad you were able to restore the finishes and not have to paint them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donna! This was the first time I have found matching tables in this style.
