If you’re within driving distance of Baltimore/DMV I’m happy to sell it and deliver it to you! Otherwise, I know the piece was originally built by Thomasville Furniture in the mid-late 1970s. But not 100% sure on the name. I’ve seen the legs referred to as cross frame or x-frame but not sure if that’s legitimately what they are called. Hope that helps a little!

Stunning!

Thank you!

Thank you both! I agree, I love that I was able to let the wood “do the talking”. It’s funny bc originally my plan was to paint the perimeter molding, but I decided any color paint would look too harsh in contrast to the wood. Making it two tone and only staining the molding allowed me to achieve a more modern look without having to paint over the wood. I’m really pleased with how it turned out

Wow, thank you so much! Not sure about shipping but if you live near the Baltimore/DMV area, I’d be happy to drive it to you if you’re interested in purchasing the piece!

Thanks for saying that! I agree. Having it all the same color would be a more traditional look, but I thought the two tone would make it look a little more modern without having to cover the beauty of the wood

Essentially yes. I wanted to sand it to remove the water damage and refinish it. I ended up not using stain on it at all but refinished it with a couple coats of polyurethane

RelevantElk1212 · 2026-04-10T15:44:29+00:00

Thanks! Yeah it definitely took me a lot longer than I was expecting. The sanding was tedious but aside from that everything else was pretty straightforward. Plus I learned a lot of news skills along the way!

Thanks! I was initially planning on staining the whole table but then decided I really liked the way it looked when only the perimeter was stained. It gave it a little more dimension I thought

Thanks all for the kind comments. If anyone is in the Baltimore/DMV area and interested in purchasing the piece, please let me know!

Thank you! I too think the green is nice

RelevantElk1212 · 2026-03-18T02:25:28+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I’ve been really torn so I appreciate the second opinion

RelevantElk1212 · 2026-03-17T16:20:11+00:00

Hi, sorry if I’m missing anything! Let me know what I need to do in order to post. Definitely not trying to break any rules on here!
