The quxalityf the adapatation arid the rea n fgir thie change should guid the puirchaser. Because inlays are costý both as to workmanship and mnater- jais, a manufacturer may emin- ate themn but retain the fine proportions, the over-ali silhou- ette and detail. Or a mnufac.- turer may finid that the~ center section of a drop-1eaf table is too narrow for~ comfort and use, and wîden 1it. If the desk part of a slant top is too high for a good deslç chair, that sectioh may be lowered. If period details are mxix-ed badly or if ihe, detail of mîe period is used e a piece neyer made during thàtperiod, or if the deails are correct but the proportion, work.manship, and finish are poor - thený the adaptation is an unwise slt tion.,.
