The table was originally delivered as planned right before Thanksgiving. However, it arrive in pretty rough shape. I say that because the top was rough - too rough for a table that would be used on a daily basis. I wasn't happy. So, June, the lady who I went through to have it made, said she would take back and plain the top down, re-stain it and bring it back. We agreed, due to the holiday season, that this would take place after the holidays were over.

Within two weeks I noticed a crack in the wood. I called June and she, along with her carpenter, came to look at it. By this time the crack was getting pretty wide and longer. If you looked at the crack from a certain angle you could see that eventually it would run the whole length of the board. Not good. So, along with the top needing to be planed, this board needed to be replaced.

| Seems like every few days the crack got bigger and bigger! By the time it was picked up for repair it was over 18" long and getting wider. |
True to their word, the middle of January my table top (just the top, the legs and frame stayed) went back to the shop. It wasn't until many phone calls later and the middle of March before the table top finally arrived back home.
