No probably not mate! Depending on what it cost. There is an ad around my way for a oak furniture firm where they pretend to be pirates and sell "Gold for the price of silver" Sounds like this crew are selling "Silver for the price of gold"
I thought it was nice until I realised I've been mugged off, also the two of the boards have bowed a quarter inch maybe couple mm more, it's making the plates wobble on the table, I'm all up the having something rustic but thats taking the ****!! Haha
You see this sort of miss selling all the time on fleabay, gumtree and other free add sites, people selling softwood tables labeled as oak, joe public just isn't aware, it winds me right up. If the legs where not painted and in good nick with a nice scrubbed pine top that would be worth between £80 and £140 The legs look solid enough, you could just replace the top if you get no joy from your carpenter
How much would a decent top cost just out of curiosity, don't matter as this is going back right back through the door it came out of!!!!
I did a load of work for a lady once who had a "solid oak" worktop done in her kitchen by another firm. It was iroko! or maybe Eyer-oak-oh! She wouldn't accept it wasn't oak!
Looks like that's what's been done. Reclaimed legs with some newish pine boards on top. As long as it wasn't sold as 'Oak Effect'! Mr. HandyAndy - Really
I think it might actually be the door it came out of to be honest, It looks a little like a ledged and braced door
I just had a bud to calm myself down a little. Lol What would it cost to put an oak top on it and how should of the top been jointed, no paperwork and was cash. I know where he lives so I'll be getting a full refund!
I reckon a solid 2inch oak top of that size would probably be in the region of £300/£400 Best to look for an old table with a nice top. Looking on ebay there are oak tables going from £100 to £1000 With your table you could get a planner and belt sander on it and router up the edges, it would look a lot better. Goldenboys idea of a ledged and braced door isn't a bad idea
