Furthermore, the table was an inherited piece from a relative...

Maybe so... and maybe harder to run it right than to run it wrong.

Quite right Arran and Harry.
I am an admirer of fine, old furniture, and commented on his table some time ago. It was handed down from his great aunt, whom he was sure would be aghast at the foetid woolens he displays on it.
I am a fan of the lost fine skills and trades, and it is a similarity between the way the foetid woolens were made by craftspeople, as were the unique pieces of art that were furnishings of days past.
The machine made junk of today cannot compare.....

So you are not a fan of IKEA then?

Honestly, I have never been in one. I will add that I also have no plans to be in one! lol

Surprised to read FB red carded again, I was enjoying his posts throughout December. But he did warn his return would be temporary, and hinted a surprise up his sleeve. So good luck to you, those who appreciate your knowledge, wit and outlook on life will miss you,.. again.

I take it that you do not recognise fine antique furniture when you see it?

It is a rather nice table yes, not to my taste, but I can appreciate the craftsmanship of such a table...I do prefer IKEA in terms of design however, and am primarily in it for the meatballs.
