Summary
A circular, doll's house size table on a pedestal with a triangular base. The table top can be tilted in order to store it against a wall. This is achieved by means of the top only being attached to one side of the pedestal's square top, with a screw at each side which act as pivots. The table top has a chamfered edge and is made up of eight segments which meet at the centre. There are a few scratches in the top.
