Hiya
just bought a 48" Larkin oak claw feet kitchen table with 3 leaves.
Turns out the top is veneer, while the base is oak. It looks like the
veneer is on top of cheap pine. Is it possible that this is the
original top? Seems strange to put a veneer top on a nice oak
pedestal, but on the underside of the top is the Larkin stamp.

Is it possible to replace the top with real oakaffordably?

Trying to decide whether or not to return this to the antique store
for my money back.

thanks
Elijah
