this table has had its extending mechanism removed...and the cross sections have been inserted to give strength to the table...from what i can see this has been done by a carpenter,,,,No you do not..get the join fixed....you just love it for what it it is....just imagine what you could do on a tabletop like this........
...you can set up a model railway....or ...do a very large jigsaw.......Or??...what ever takes your fancy....
