Howdy y'all, first time poster here, thanks in advance for any ID help.

I've looked on etsy, pintrest, and other sights and I can't seem to find any photos matching my tables. No markings or labels on the tables. I wouldn't know how to search for the chair and couch.

I purchased this set several years ago from someone on Craigslist. He said they came from his Grandmother's house in Ohio, and the green couch has a tag that appears to say it was renovated by WHITES UPHOLSTERY in West Jefferson, OH. Other than that, no other tags or markings.

I have two of the end tables.

I have two of the colorful, floral-patterned chair. Unfortunately, the corners of both served as a cats scratching post at one time. Rather than have them reupholstered, I thought about adding some wooden corners overtop of the fabric, same stained color and style as the bottom wooden border. Thoughts on that?

Anyway, any ID help on the tables or chairs would be appreciated! I hope those photos are good enough!

I don't know for sure who made any of it but I'd look at Kroehler, Flexsteel, and other big name US furniture makers from that era.

I wouldn't add trim to cover the damage on the chair. I think it will look like an amateur fix-it even if you do a good job. Instead, trim back the frayed fibers with some small, sharp scissors. The busy print will make it less noticeable. Then start a savings account to get it reupholstered. It's possible these days to get really good fabric at sub-wholesale prices if you have the patience and vigilance to hunt. It's harder fo find a bargain on the labor but that's why a savings fund is a good idea.

I believe the chair is Milo Baughman for James. The tables are inspired by Jens Risom but no idea who actually made them.
