Where does the non refundable deposit come in? I didn't see that in the listing and they are offering a money back refund. I haven't seen many sets quite this special. I would grab it.

He asked for the deposit to cancel the auction.

This is the set we bought. Sparkly loved the rabbit graphic.It will be easy, but the set needs to be stripped and repainted.

It should be an easy and reasonably inexpensive DIY restoration.

I need to disassemble the chairs and reglue the joints. One chair leg stretcher needs to be replaced, again easy enough as it is just a square piece of oak that I can either make a tenon on my lathe or just end drill it and use a dowel. Strip the parts, paint 'em, and its done.

What a choice, Stinky. Two great sets! If you really want the one on eBay, I think the $200 deposit is reasonable. I doubt that you will have a problem selling this one.

It shouldn't be too difficult to sell if you really want the other one.

I am really partial to pieces with old green paint, and have a few.

We have white paint on top. Looks like latex. Below that is the green. As there is some green on the otherwise unpainted underside of the table top, we believe that is an added color, too. Below the green, depending on where you look, is either black or white, which we think is the original color scheme.

The top coat of white has been sanded off to get the current "shabby chic" look. The sander went to bare wood in a few spots on the edges, but not so bad as to ruin the set; mostly just paint removal.
