Yes-I know that type-you can basically snap it off-do a test with abrasives and see if you can make it look good without a coating-sometimes you can and sometimes you cant.
Those tables are usually low quality-one of the reasons they may be coated-

The coating is thick, yellow and cracking. We were able to pull it off with little effort. The surface is textured. She is not sure what she wants done to it yet.

Mike-If the coating has failed-it needs to be removed-in many cases you can remove the coating using a 4 inch razor blade-but that depends on thickness and also how smooth the actual surface is-we have done a lot of these-each one is a bit different.
I cant really see the detail of the pics-the way to test is pull a piece from the area its failing and you will be able to see the coating and the original surface-

OH it has a coating on it...Can be tricky. Most likely a urethane coating. If they want it removed and it is failing you should be able to scrape it with a sharp razor. Once removed you can re polish. Of course the natural polish is going to look alot different than a coated surface. Make sure the customer is aware of that.

I don't think they know, the coating has failed. She will let me know later today.

Looks like an onyx or gemstone agglomerate.
