<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sedona, post: 2086225, member: 4438&quot;]Thanks, everyone, so much for your responses. This has been very helpful and educational. I&#039;m surprised to see that the table may be much older than I had thought. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure the extra piece of wood underneath is a repair, as it&#039;s the same stain as the other wood, and appears to be an integrated piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>The green painted one looks almost identical to mine (and, if you look towards the left, you&#039;ll see a piece of wood sticking out under the top, just like mine). So, I wonder if this is actually American, and not English. As others have noted, any 18th century American craftsman would likely have been influenced by the English styles of the time. </p><p><br /></p><p>The wood on top is very smooth, and does appear lighter than the rest of the table. I just presumed that was from decades of use and polishing. </p><p><br /></p><p>I will do my best to make sure there are no run-ins with coaster-less beverages![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
