Answer by Rosalie I have two tables that were made from old open top tool boxes used by carpenters. All they needed were a piece of tempered glass with the edges polished, resting on 1/2″ pieces of surgical tubing sliced open to go over the edge. Even with several dogs and a cat (sometimes in hot pursuit), the glass has stay on just fine.

Question by Stunner: How to remove hairline scratches and a circular burn mark off a mahogany coffee table?
I have had this coffee table for several years and it matches the other furniture in the room so don’t want to just get a new one due to the condition of it, would mean replacing all the matching furniture!!
Left a dish on the table some years ago and it had floating candles inside the dish, the water heated up and left an imprint of the dish on the table (this seems to be under the varnished layer) also it’s covered in hair line scratches, and recently some deeper ones have been added by the kids.
Anyone recommend a fix??

Answer by onelanrpwv Is your table ‘varnished’? If so a suitable solution would be to use Wax and Wire Wool. Buy some triple 0 wire wool (the finest grade) and some solid furniture wax. Wipe the wool over the wax and gentlly rub with the grain. You will soon find the best pressure to use. Continue with thw wax and wool, changing the wool pad if it becomes clogged and is not cutting the varnish. Do not be afraid that the wool will badly mark your table, it wont! It may take a while and some effort but you will wind up with a restored table top with a wonderfully smooth finish that nicely reflects the light

We at www.italianbeandelight.com sell the Yama Vacuum Coffee Maker, the perfect syphon coffee stovetop brewer with a capicity of 5 or 8 cups for the perfect gourmet drip coffee. Cheaper than other vacuum coffee makers like cona, hario or bodum santos, this yama vacuum brewer brews coffee with a great body, but without the sediment you would get in a French press. It has a longlasting cloth filter that fits over the metal filter assembly and should be replaced each year. The lid doubles as a stand for the funnel (top glass part), and it comes with a spare cloth filter and a burner wire grid for use on an electric stove. The glass is labelled on the bottom as “Heat-Resistant Yama Glass”. The brewer is easy to use. The rubber gasket between the top and the bottom -the flange on it makes the creation of an airtight seal (and the separation of top and bottom when the coffee is brewed) much easier. The 5 cup model is fine for 2 people. For more people you should rather prefer the 8 cup model. We compared the Yama vaccum brewer with the bodum santos vacuum brewer. Using the same coffee beans, same grind, the brewed coffee tastes different Produced with the Yama vacuum brewers, the coffee develops its aroma to the fullest. Video Rating: 4 / 5

Question by : What Coffee table will go with a black leather couch?
I recently bought a black leather couch. I was originally thinking of buying a wooden (teak or something) coffee table but I think brown color of the coffee table will not go with a black couch? I am not too fond steel with glass tables. Please suggest me something that will go with a black couch?
I also need a TV table and lamps. Please make some suggestions for the same.
Thank you people!

Question by : How can I get rid of a water stain without redoing my whole coffee table?
I accidentally left a bottle of water on my coffee table, and the condensation from it has left quite a mark on it. It’s a very dark stain on the table, and the water stain is very bright. I’ve heard that you can stain the spot using brewed coffee or tea depending on the shade you need, but I’m not sure if it actually works. I don’t want to have to strip the table and stain it again because it’s rather old and I can’t afford to buy more stain at the moment. Any help would be great!
Best answer:
Answer by Klaatu verata nichto there are a variety of water stain fixing products out there that will fix the stain better than tea or coffee. check out an antique store and ask about the solutions they use. the stuff I use is mixed by a local guy and sold in a large antique store. It’s amazing and easy to use.
