This was my fear when I started this project and why I didn't spring for the oak. The table is built all right and it was wood under the laminate so I had hopes. I couldn't find a rounded edge table I liked for under $400 and we have other goals for our furniture budget right now.

I did the whole thing for under $100 but a lot of that expense is stuff I'll use again like new jigsaw blades, sand paper and steel wool. Hopefully I'll find something to coat in polyurethane soon (don't use poly that's over a year old is another lesson I've learned the hard way).

If this didn't work I'd have given up on the project and bought a damn square cornered coffee table and bashed my shins up when I'm in my cups.
