[QUOTE="WayneW, post: 180921, member: 3178"]This is another inherited piece. I have found this exact style, in excellent condition, at some very good prices. This one is not within smelling distance of excellent. The first question is, do I make an attempt at fixing the top? I don't know if you can get those boards out of there without damaging the wicker. Secondly, is there anything that can be done to remove the copious layers of paint without damaging the wicker? Thirdly, even if it can be done, "should" it be done? One more if you don't mind, the leg that is untwisting, leave it, or try to fix it? I know so little about wicker that it scares me, but I'm sure I can find some sites that would give me some tips on "how" to do it. Also, if you have any idea of the approximate age, I would be eager to have a better idea. Thank you all!
