Goodwill Bins Find
Found this yesterday at the bins. Snatched it up real quick. Want to restore it and give to my son. What's the best way to restore the face of it? I plan on upgrading the battery pack in the back and adding new components. Thanks!

Chromcraft Pub Table
I've had this pub table and stools for several years (paid $1000 about 15 years ago at auction) but need the space for additional kitchen cabinets.
I'm thinking about posting them locally but have no clue about what the market value may be on these. I am not looking to run anybody over the coals. Just a reasonable market estimated price.
Any guidance is appreciated. Location is in middle TN between Nashville and Knoxville. I suspect that geography does matter in pricing.
Thanks to anyone willing to assist.

possible Harlee Tulip Lamp?
I rescued this lovely thing from a storage unit. There was also a Nessen mushroom lamp, which I was able to authenticate, so it seems reasonable to me that this might be genuine as well. Unfortunately I have been unable to find any definitive markings on this to confirm its maker. The base says “SK MADE IN TAIWAN”. Also it has a pull chain, whereas all the Harlee Tulips I’ve seen have turn knobs, but it’s possible it was rewired/altered at some point. Any help would be appreciated!

Seeking advice: repair of Mart Stam cantilever chairs
I recently found these two vintage cantilever chairs for next to nothing on Facebook marketplace. I believe they are Mart Stam S34 chairs, or at least a really excellent knock-off. However, the leather is in awful condition.
I’m looking for advice on cleaning and repairing the damaged leather (shown in the photos), or whether it’s a better idea to reupholster them entirely. Is the current leather beyond saving? I don’t really care about value/resale, as I plan to keep these for personal use after restoration. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Wallpaper?
Has anyone had any luck with peel and stick mcm style wall papers? I’m looking to use one in my kitchen as a backsplash until I’m ready for tile (just finished remodeling 90% of the house and have to wait a bit).
Most of what I find has kind of struck me as tacky, not quite hitting the way I’d like.

Help for ID + how to change color ?
Got those chairs for free, trying to find the exact model but can't find anything. Also, I wanted to switch the color to green fabric or black leather, can I just unscrew everything and staple fabric over the actual white leather ? Thank you :)

Need help authenticating a Vitra Noguchi coffee table – no visible markings
Hi everyone,
I recently bought this Noguchi coffee table from a random secondhand shop in Sweden. It was sold as an original Vitra for 9,000 SEK.
It has:
~20 mm thick glass
Approx. 126 × 90 × 40 cm (measured quickly)
Very heavy
No visible Vitra etching or label
One loose locating pin in the base (see photos)
Does this look like an authentic Vitra or a high-quality reproduction?
Has anyone seen original Vitra tables without markings? How can I know for sure if this is fake or the real deal?
Thanks!
