Question
one of the four post is broken,hanging not completly broken can this be repaired or replaced?

Answer
Hi Dolores
Nice to hear from you.
I have rarely seen a broken piece of wood that could not be repaired.
This particular break is no exception.
Take it to a local wood shop or furniture restorer as this cannot likely be done in the home.
Hope this helps
Regards
Eileen

Hi..I can answer most questions about the repairing,stripping and refinishing of all your old furniture and wood items(the things we call antiques)I can give advice about what to buy/avoid at auctions/flea markets. I do not give appraisals on antiques.

Experience

I have been refinishing antiques for the past 30yrs. While I have taken several courses over the years,I have found that "hands on" learning is the best teacher. Perhaps I can help you avoid some of the mistakes I made while learning.
