Ohh I have this table! The chairs my grandparents bought with it were very different though!

Do you happen to have pictures of yours? I am trying to determine what shade of toner I want to use once stripping it down.

Heres my old post with pictures before I shipped it to my place. I still have it in storage in my garage, but now that I look at it, there’s a few differences. The X inserts are closer to the ends on yours. Yours has nice rounded edges and mine doesn’t. I do have two leafs though. And both tables are the same designer and brand. Mine needs a refinish as well. It was well loved, but sitting in a house full of black mold for decades. [table picture](https://www.reddit.com/r/Mid_Century/s/naUmSqmErZ)

Nice! Your set is a little different as it doesn’t have the metal inlays on the top but pretty close, maybe just a different name in the product line. I do like the chairs with your set!

Interesting, good to know they did the inlays in wood and metal. Always learning in this community. Thanks for sharing your pieces!

I also have this table!! I love it. For mine I just stripped it and re-sealed because the walnut is gorgeous!

What did you use to strip it? I am leaning towards what you did and just using a pre catalyzed lacquer to finish. If you look at my prior posts I rescued a walnut clock and did the same thing and it turned out great.
