    You're right it does seem to be an oriental opium table! Thanks :) I wish I could just shrink it a bit as I love the style

    It's definitely not pine! It's hardwood, just not something I know

    With straight legs, perhaps £200, but that badly warped, £50 is my best and final.

    ...the sides and legs look a bit like Yew, but not so sure about the top.



    (quite hard, but not a 'hardwood')

    Old pine table, with ring marks and joints starting to split 
    imo £50 but I know nowt
    Looks more like Oak to me, definitely more than £50 but way well end up at that price.

    That idea sounds a bit fishy.
