They had a plastic laminate someone had glued to the top with rubber cement (thankfully) so it pealed off. The one in the back is after cleaning. The residue comes off with Goo Gone and some elbow grease. You can see a seam separation on the back one. I'll probably end up refinishing the tops since they are in somewhat rough shape What impressed me (besides being modern style) is that these are built like tanks. Surprisingly heavy (all solid birch) and not wobbly at all. They're Conant/Ball "American Modern (Modern Mates) series. (c.1949 I think.)
