Free: Dining able (CT11) Expired This has been (badly) upcycled so needs some tlc or could be used for base and new top/ used in a craft room or workshop as I have where battered is good! It is very sturdy and good quality, so the top could be rescued with sand back and paint. It extends with hidden middle section that folds out. Lovely base and smooth mechanism. Hoping this is useful to someone.
