Hey there,

I have a beautiful, amoeba shaped formica coffee table with bamboo legs, that I strongly believe is a Ritts Tropitan (Although I'm probably just lying to myself about that because I used to work in the building on Santa Monica Blvd that used to house the Ritts' show room ;)). I use it more as a desk than a coffee table because I prefer to sit on the floor than a chair, so it's the perfect shape for doing that. Unfortunately, one of the legs keeps falling off. No matter the amount of clamping it together with gorilla glue will fix it. The bamboo keeps splintering and I can't get the angle just right when putting it back on. I am going to give up trying to do it myself, so I am open to suggestions on who in the LA area can fix it.

Thanks so much :)
