| 2009-07-31 | Rhonda | 10 | 9 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Kirk response would have been slightly more supportive if he had explained terms like "direct oil." Nonetheless, I now know exactly how to proceed. Overall his response was more than thorough as he anticipated additional helpful information. |

| 2009-06-04 | Julie Butts | 10 | 8 | 9 | 10 | Yes | The answer Kirk gave me did answer the question I posted. I should have asked a more precise question. I was afraid of giving too many details and/or having the question be to lengthy. I also was trying to avoid asking the manufacturer which is why I posted the question. I felt as though I might have been misled by them. Thank you very much for your time and attention. |

| 2009-04-15 | Janie | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks I'll check into them. Sounds safer than adding wood to bottom. |
| 2009-04-13 | Lee | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much for your response I do appreciate it. I have metal sliders..I oiled them..they seem to work fine. I guess the problem is that maybe the wood is warped on band outside the leafs. ..as the table closes tight with out the leafs in. Might have to just get a new table. Thanks again. Cheers! Lee |

| 2008-12-22 | Betsy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you, very good advice. And, actually it says "allow to soak into wood," so I guess interpreting that as over hours was my fault! I do appreciate your help. |
