Thanks Pottz.
Both my wife and I are big MCM fans. One reason that I do not have many indoor woodworking projects is that we find MCM furniture so cheap that we cannot pass it up. We usually keep things for a while and then swap them out with something new we like even better. Some of it requires some major refinishing or even repairs but for the most part they are so solidly made, that it is mostly just reversing the abuse from storing it in a garage or something. The worst case so far was an end table that was chalk painted white. The bookmatched walnut veneer I found under the paint was stunning.
