Hi - we have a rosewood table with an extendable pedestal - I don't know what the right term for it is. Anyway, I'm pretty sure it's by John Mortensen for Moreddi. The pedestal is wobbly and DH wants to secure it with a screw. Is that really desirable and if not, should he glue it instead?
The pedestal is mostly obscured in this photo, but I think you get the idea.
Too vague to tell.
Depends on what has failed, if anything, but the best repairs replicate or replace whatever was original. Adding a screw here or there on typically unseen structures probably won't devalue your table, but certainly wouldn't add any and possibly won't provide long-term service, either.
