You're most welcome. Last weekend when my daughter was coming in to pick me up she passed by a home that had put a large coffee table out on the driveway for heavy trash to be picked up. She came to pick me up and told me she was going to take a different route to where we were going so she could go back and get a better look at it. We got there and she went up to the door and asked the lady if she might take it and this lovely woman told her. "By all means, do so, my son was going to redo it and never did and I am tired of keeping it for him and you are certainly welcome to take it". With that I helped her get it into her SUV and off we went laughing about the freebie she got. She intends to refinish it and give it to my grandson who just bought a new home and are redoing their new house. It is a solid mahogany piece and she already knew exactly how she was going to put the finishing touches to it. I will be anxious to see the finished product too. Amazing how one's trash is another's treasure. She has a talent for staining and paints so beautifully also. We laughed all the way home imagining what her husband would say when she came home with it. With the table he smiled and rolled his eyes at her. She replied, "Just wait until you see the finished product I got for nothing, before you comment on its value".
