The finished article.
Having had extensive repairs carried out to the tops and base they were cleaned and stained. When the correct colour had been achieved the entire table was re-polished, all polished surfaces were later dulled down and wax polished giving it the well cared for look that all customers should expect.
New castors and table forks replaced the worn and broken ones.
