It also had the original bar/tea cart with it. It's in pretty good shape, but could use some love (there's a small chip out of the top of the middle leaf, the black legs and edging are a little banged up, the black finish on the cart trim is gettting rough, and the wheels are loose). It really isn't that much, I just want it to look shiny without messing it up. Any tips on refurbishing this kind of furniture? I find very little info online about it other than people rabidly looking for it. Many thanks!

When I married her son (1962) in got her Daystrom. It has been in constant use since then and my kids are fighting over it. They both want it.( We made cookies, glued on it , plus homework,etc.) It still has the original cover that has been recovered by me many times. The rubber tips to the chairs have finally worn through and I am having trouble replacing them. It is a really neat design with double legs on each chair leg so I need a tip that has a place for 2 legs. Does anyone have an idea when I can find this or have some custom made?

My Aunt Fran told me this summer that she custom picked her colors after she got married so its aqua on top and black edging instead of chrome. This is my prize possession! Does anyone know where I can send pictures for an unofficial appraisal? I have this table, but no chairs.
