It has not been refinished in any way.It was my father'sand was used a a workbench in his garage. At its lowestposition in a flat position, the wood surface is 35.5" high. Itcan be raised up to 50" inches high.Note that the latchthat is supposed to catch the ratchet is broken. (see the 10thpicture, the broken latch is circled in red)The table stillraises and lowers and is held in place with the handle tension.The latch just addsa layer of protection to prevent the top from going down, should notension be applied to the handle.Thus, extra careneeds to be taken when raising or lowering the tabletop. If you leaveit at the lowest height, it doesn't have any effect. We always leftit lowered.
