The pretty tri-leg pedestal base of this side table give this an airy and curvy silhouette that is elegant yet understated. The aluminum table is finished in a smooth black with a thin gold trim along the edges. The top is raised making sure that 5 o'clock stays right where it should Each piece is truly unique, thanks to the little "imperfections" that naturally occur during the aluminum cladding process. These dings and dents give each piece its own individual allure. Photo may slightly differ from actual item in terms of color/finish due to the lighting during photo shoot or the monitor's display.
