This solid wooden table is in outstanding condition; even the inside and underside.

It recently received a complete 10+ hour restoration - cleaned; lightly sanded; stained; and sealed.

The extra heavy door hardware was removed and cleaned and refinished in a copper lacquer finish of 3 coats.

The 4 inch legs were refinished in a deep brown, matching the refinished ‘doors.’

One door is functional … as you face the table … the door on the right … and it hinges well and is solid and heavy as a rock; being over 1 inch thick in solid pieced wood, and faced with a decorative ‘reed weave design’ in a thick poly.

The other “door” is “faux” … on the left … matching the functional door; and it does not hinge. Its door pull matches the other door.

The door hardware is sturdy and quite substantial.

The outside facing of the doors is a composite poly, made to mimic a distinctive reed weave.

The cabinet is made of solid wood and the top insert is a matte finished Formica-like laminate … in very fine condition … in a knotty burl type pattern of deep brown and black swirls.

The 4 inch table legs have centered sliders affixed thereto, that facilitates moving it.

The door opening is 10 inches wide and 15 inches tall.

The functional door works very well, with a magnetic closure.

The wood, believed to be of pine, has impressive grain, originally stained in a rich walnut finish by the manufacturer.

It is believed to of a vintage age from the mid to late 1900s.

It is really solid; weighing some 33 pounds.

A rare and distinctive Mersman table style. less
