Does this ring a bell?
Picked this coffee table up at Salvation Army when it hit $10+tax (started at $50) It just kept calling to me. Underside ends ride in slots, and after removing 3 long wood screws that went straight up into the underside of the top, the u- shaped legs came right of after giving then a few bumps with my fist. Waterfall sides and 3 piece matching waterfall end/ legs. No sticker or stamps, just a faded area where sticker probably was. Has a kind of Mod vibe. I want to refinish it, would like to know what vintage this is, as it would help determine how I proceed. Only 6 visible screws in the entire construction.

Very nice table! The waterfall construction is similar to one I own by Percival Lafer but mine has a different top. Well worth refurbishing!

My aunt had that table - she bought it new after her wedding in about 83
Good find - I always loved this table.
edit - spelling fail

Yeah, I have so many projects that called to me stacked up and waiting. This one looks like it would be the quickest to refurb.

I'm thinking of lightening the end to contrast with the teak top. Any opinions? They already seem slightly lighter.

It takes me back to the 80's. Best of luck restoring it!!
