    Our Table was wearing down quickly and the finish was coming off the top so my wife had been after me to buy a new farmhouse table. I am a cheapskate and took a different route. I ended up stripping and restraining the top, painting the base, and buying new chairs. Total cost was about $250

    Also had promised her for two years I would make a headboard for our bed and I finally got it done also. See there is no need to bug me every six months about it :D
    And as a positive it's lagged into the wall and the frame is lagged to the headboard so it's solid :rofl: :lol::thumbs:
