This table was purchased on Trade Me on Thursday 16 December 2011 for $100. This listing read:

Gorgeous antique Kauri Table, has end draw for cutlery etc, 760H 1220L 855W, borer have made awesome detail on top and legs, has been treated.

I particularly liked the bit about borer having made awesome detail! And it actually looked better in the Trade Me photo than when I saw it for the first time. One has to wonder where it's been and how it came to be so neglected. There were loads of borer holes in the table top and also the legs.

It also looks like at some stage the top may have been painted and then stripped.

This table is going into Te Karanga in K Road as it fits reasonably well with the tables they have in the Tea Shop upstairs.
