While there is nothing extraordinary about this mahogany tilt top table—no fancy, carved edge or claw and ball feet—there is nothing particularly ordinary, either. The top is just the right thickness for the diameter and the pedestal is weighted perfectly for both. Simple design and execution, along with a wonderful, rich brown mahogany make this table suitable for a small center hall or large living room.
