"Needless to say, I was pretty nervous about buying this table sight unseen.  Not only was it a long way
from here, but was also a considerable investment.  The table arrived last evening in excellent shape
and it is beautiful!    Your shipper- Gary of Vashon Island Transport-
was great and very conscientious.  Thanks again."  San Diego, Ca.
"After 5 years of daily use our dining room table looks as good now as the day we bought it,
due to the durability of the finish Up the Creek uses on their furniture." Beaverton, OR

 
 
Points to Ponder While Shopping For Tables:
1.  Select the Size you need by estimating an additional 3 feet around the outside of the table to allow room for chairs and guests to move freely.
2.  Decide how you intend to use the table the most frequently.  If you intend to keep it set up as a large table or fully extended with all its leaves in place,  consider looking for a "split pedestal" table for the best support and in the long run, the least wear and warp on the stretchers.
3.  Solid Top Tables are the most desired but don't rule out a Veneer top if it is in perfect condition.  Often you can get exceptional grain patterns with veneer tops and a good finish that seals the wood will protect it from most problems.  Veneer tables were not necessarily the cheapest option when originally manufactured .
     Feel Free to call or email us with your concerns or questions.

      remove scratches and blemishes where possible.

     Carve any repairs needed to feet/carvings/molded skirts.
7.  Check to make sure table hardware is functioning properly or replace or repair.
8.  Inspect the base and it's attachment to the top.  Add new wheels, if necessary.
