<p>[QUOTE="geo35, post: 10810114, member: 95180"]I am really glad I bought this table it was I think a bargain I paid £30 on Ebay. I was looking for a dining room table that was foldable to save space. I was almost gonna get a modern table on amazon which also had folding chairs that stored inside, yet upon reading the reviews decided that for the price £200, the quality and materials really weren't good enough (a lot of reports of things breaking). This led me to looking on Ebay for something more substantial, my reasoning that an older table has lasted all these years will last many more as I am careful with my purchases.</p><p>I also acquired 6 Ikea wooden folding chairs to go with I know they don't match yet they only cost me £25. I didn't expect the added bonus of learning about historic furniture construction techniques and the history of oak and its uses, honestly it's fascinating and I appreciate all your help and insights. I am planning to treat the woodworm areas (which I think aren't active anymore but why not) give the table a gentle clean then i'm gonna use some renaissance wax on the table to give it a protective coating and uniformity without spoiling the character of the table.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
