<p>[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 1989001, member: 5066"]Hello, It's a mid 19th century (1850s) Sheraton table and I agree with Cluttered, what's the problem? it looks great i think, very nice wood figure on top. The center board does have some staining but that is called "character" and i would leave it be.</p><p>If you sand off all the flaws from the top, you'll have a "brand new" mid 19th century table which isn't as desirable in my view.
