I've not put them on CL yet because hubby needs them as extra seating for the Packer game Sunday. Not sure if that's a good idea or not. ; ^}Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07305925905252173447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-69144139637013467752011-02-03T09:25:32.070-06:002011-02-03T09:25:32.070-06:00This was my table.

Also, the original veneer was badly damaged so I removed it, sanded it down and attempted to seal it. Don't think it worked and I was never really happy with the finish. Anyway, I love mcm (just moved into my dream mcm home), but this piece just wasn't my thing. Btw, I never left it in an alley... it was left on the curb for a "big trash pickup" day. I figured it would be picked up by someone who loved it. Did this rather than messing with selling. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-87887841910892013432011-02-02T01:28:42.788-06:002011-02-02T01:28:42.788-06:00Becky - Also, check out this House Tour on Apartme...Becky - Also, check out this <a href="http://gallery.apartmenttherapy.com/photo/mike-in-toronto/item/219570" rel="nofollow">House Tour on Apartment Therapy</a>.

I think I have a lead on getting it replaced cheaply though. You're so welcome about the lotta living post.

Thanks for the help there by the way. <br />As for the glass scratches and gouges I wonder if they could be fixed the way they now fix automotive windshields? Just a thought. It is an awesome table.

It's pretty much the same design but on a larger scale. I had a pair but one went to live in North Carolina. It was in better condition than this one. I love having this right at the front door. I drop my wallet, keys and whatnot in the drawer when I come in so's I know where it's at when I go to leave.Mr. Modtomichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804031065414619749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-32854212731371232952011-01-28T20:44:10.983-06:002011-01-28T20:44:10.983-06:00I'd be cruising ally ways like nobodies busine...I'd be cruising ally ways like nobodies business!

I think that is how this was acquired. I'm always seeing the steel recyclers in their busted up trucks driving around.

It is done in blonde laminate and is not a step up, but it did come with 2 side tables that are step up tables. Unfornately the coffee table is being stored under a bed for now (thank goodness the legs screw out), but I am using the side tables as bedside tables.
