i just called her back. there are 10 tables which are about l.5 ft X 3 ft. they seat 2 pupils per table. and she said under the current finish, which looks painted she thinks, the wood appears to be compressed wood?.
so a roll of formica, might fix it easier. right?
as they are now, they have really been cut, carved, gouged, and when ever the kids write on them, the papers get holes in them. and the wood expands when it gets wet.
any ideas?
