It's just a factory made wood-and-veneer table. Sell this one, buy a new one that fits the space. A little secret is that those fasteners may never go back in the same way after, and by the time you repair the cut edges you are going to be sick of this job. Most woodworkers wouldn't take this job because they'd have to charge you more than the table is worth. | |

| Jun 4, 2020 at 15:01 | comment | added | Graphus | Just on this, "How do I cut down the top without a disaster that chips the top/veneer?" No matter how careful you are you may not be able to prevent this entirely. This is partly down to the veneer (type and thickness), the adhesive they used as well as how thoroughly it was applied, and only then does the tool used factor in more directly. | |
| Jun 4, 2020 at 14:59 | comment | added | Graphus | Hi and welcome to SE. This may not be answerable in our format, since the proper way to answer such a query is to draw info from you and then base one or more recommendations on what you have, or are willing to buy specifically for this job (with the expectation of the tool being useful to you in future). So this is, I think, a better fit for a standard threaded forum. The answer to the basic Q, "How do you cut down a veneered tabletop?" is however, whatever works best with the tools you have at your disposal. | |
