Message:: [QUOTE="REGinAUS, post: 331851, member: 6577"]What a great forum. Interesting just reading and learning. So now I have a question:This dining suite belonged to my parents who bought it 2nd hand about 1960. They had the 6 chairs recovered and the glass pieces cut to protect the tops of the table and side board.The table is 5'x3' and extends another 18". There is a ring pull on one end of the table that releases the locking mechanism. As one end of the table moves out, the other end automatically goes in the other direction to expose the fold-out extension piece. Some years ago I had to remove the entire table top to move it through a narrow doorway. The extension mechanism, if I remember correctly, is cable operated and I noticed the various components were made in the USA.I have often wondered when this suite was made and where. Is it oak? Perhaps you may be able to offer advice. Thanks in advance for any information.
