Review: Fall 2013 I purchased a table through designer, [redacted], who bought it from The Groundwork Group in Philadelphia. There are 2 issues with the table. The 1st is that the table is too small. I had asked for a table that would seat 10-12. We had agreed upon the tables length and width, and those are as ordered. But the table is an unusual shape and therefore doesn't fit enough seats. As the designer Ms [redacted] should have confirmed the table would accommodate the correct number of chairs.My bigger concern though is the entire top of the table is circumscribed in lead solder. The table was described to me as a tree stump base with a zinc top. At no time was it disclosed that there was lead. I have tried to resolve this with the table maker directly as I realize that Ms [redacted] did not know about the lead. But she could have ordered samples and asked more questions prior to purchase. I know the California is a model for the rest of the country regarding standards for lead in products.. I tested the solder with the EPA recommended kit. The maker confirmed that the solder is 50% lead. I have confirmed with several scientists that the lead, in it's current form is completely accessible to ingestion. Even if you don't eat directly from the table, as my 4 year old occasionally does, acids from food dropped on the table can make the lead particularly soluble. Touching the solder with your fingers or eating utensils could result in direct ingestion. And while the lead combined with 50% zinc it is still possible to scratch and disturb it. At the very least the presence of lead in the dining table should have been disclosed to me so that we could make an informed decision for our family.I have offered the following solutions, with no takers: I would buy a new wood top and request reimbursement for that minimal expense only; I would buy a second base from the vendor as a way to offset costs; I would accept design services in lieu of reimbursement.Desired Settlement: I would like to return the table for a complete refund, $5800. Or I am still willing to purchase a new top or a second base to help alleviate the full refund amount. I will have to verify with a local carpenter that a second base can be incorporated before I will accept this option. I no longer wish to do this with design services.I know the email and phone# for Ms [redacted] are correct, but as she moved I am not positive that is the correct address.

Response:

I am having trouble finding the correct address. The owner is a designer and works out of her home. She recently moved and I do not have a correct physical address. I do have the correct email, phone number and website though. Is it not possible to contact via those methods?
