<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 348912, member: 6444"]Hepplewhite style legs, but the table is far from Hepplewhite and 100 plus years later. I think the OP is right and that someone buying a farm table for dining will care far more about it being a usable dining table. This isn't a fine antique so why sweat it? Country cabinet makers cared about making something functional and not about matching a 100 year old style, so I don't think it's worth putting more money or effort into than a quick dab of paint, but I guess that's just me. I'll obsess over pieces I care about, but a functional bastardized piece I'm going to sell, not so much.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]118013[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
