<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 180923, member: 78"]Hi Wayne,</p><p> To start with, it is not true wicker. You have paper which has wound around a thin wire. It is then used as you see it. If you try and strip it, it will just turn into a real mess. Strip the boards on top or sand them down. Reglue the unwound piece to the leg. Then give it another coat of paint. Or leave it and call it a type of shabby chic. That is if you plan on keeping it. Or you could yank the thin plywood layers out and fit more into the slots.</p><p>good luck,</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
