You need to re-amalgamate the finish. Find out what the finish is and what solvent will "melt" it...then flow some of that on gently with a paint brush and let everything melt together. The trick is to find what the finish is. Anyideas how old the table is? or if it has ever been refinished? Linda C

the only thing i know for sure is my dh's grandparents bought it new in 1948 according to the mfg's tags

If you have a china cupboard that will be on one of the 12 foot walls, and it is no more than 20" deep, you can fit the table into the room, but the person at the end of the table adjacent to the family room, may need to push the chair back into the entry way between dining a family room to get up from the table. Arithmetic: 80" long table = 6' 8". Recommended chair space = 3' (36") x 2 chairs = 6' Table + chair space = 12' 8" Room length = 12' 40" wide table = 3' 4" Table + chair space = 9' 4" Room width = 11' Maximum depth for china cupboard = 1' 8" = 20"

Can you post a picture? I am getting a sofa table that will be next to my DR table and I’m having it made by a local craftsman. He’s matching the wood of my table. In my case, legs are white and table a light-medium wood. He’s doing that for the sofa table. A picture will help though.
