“Beautiful tables!”

We love the beautifully crafted tables and look forward to enjoying them in our home. The one problem was that the pieces were covered with bits of paper stuck to the wood - on the legs and tables. I used Goo Gone to remove the paper and stickiness, but some I couldnt remove completely.
