This coffeetable is a true vintage item. The top can be turned up side down. One side with a teak veneer and the other side with a plastic veneer with wood look. This is for when the little come over or the party gets started and you do not want to get stains. Obviously the teak veneer side is the most beautiful side. Where the edges connect with the legs are some very nice details to the woodwork. Curvy edges that give the table its looks. The bottom shelf is good for newspapers and magazines and is connected by brass supports. The table is in a very good and restored condition.
