<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 73618, member: 37"]I considered that this might be a marriage but don't really think so after close examination. While the woods look a bit dissimilar, I think it is really a finish issue more than any real difference. It looks like the top of the table has been refinished at some point. You will also note that the inlay is fitted to the shape of the top organizer. Of course, the inlay could have been added at a later date but I really don't see the motivation for doing so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
