I found a fantastic Favorite Find to share with you all today. Except, it is all in bits and pieces so you will have to bear with me! I first spotted the farmhouse tabletop leaning against a wall outside a thrift store. Behind the table was a table leaf and then I saw that there were actually two. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how they would slide into the table top as there is no middle break in the large, solid wood top. The guy at the store was equally stumped.
I then found the two table base ends and the long piece that runs along the bottom.
I decided to purchase it and figure out the puzzle later. It was only when I took it out of my car and grabbed it by its very end to pull it out that I finally understood how it worked! The very end pieces of the tabletop slide open to allow the table leaves to fit. Very unusual.
It is all there except the two small pieces that slide into each notch in the long piece that fits through each table end. I can have a few made at Home Depot. It is a great find – a huge, solid wood, farmhouse table with two leaves that extend it out to a fantastic size!
