Just picked this up on Craigslist! What a cool find. Does anyone know anything about it? Also, there's a small scratch on the top. Anyone have any recommendations for how to repair the scratch?

I think it was designed around 1960, certainly by Kurt Oestervig for Jason Moebler ('moebler' means 'furniture') in the town of Ringsted (Denmark.). These things are extremely popular here at the moment - a great find!
Awesome, thanks Jensen. Where's "here"?

Oh, oops! Just looked at your profile and saw you're in Denmark. Thanks for the info!

Sorry, 'here' is in Denmark (Copenhagen). The funny thing is that (apart from many classics by Wegner and others) these things, particularly in teak and other dark types of wood, were not sought after at all 5-10 years ago - but they are completely fashionable now, and just recently I talked to a guy who has a retro store and he said he just couldn't get hold of these things fast enough!
Great table. I found my butterfly drop leaf on craigslist also. I love it, they're great for narrow rooms.
