Know before you buy
The black marble top features a smooth, matte finish. This provides a sophisticated, low-sheen look that contrasts well with the industrial steel base.
The millscale finish is a natural byproduct of the hot-rolling process, giving the steel a rugged, variegated appearance. Because it is hand-welded and torched, each piece has unique tonal variations that highlight its industrial character.
No, the table arrives fully assembled. It is a solid, one-piece construction designed for immediate use.
This piece is listed in good condition. As with any natural stone and industrial steel, you may find light signs of wear consistent with its age, which often adds to the authentic, lived-in aesthetic of the Parsons design.
At 48 inches wide and 16 inches deep, it works well as a slim entry console or a sofa table. While it lacks integrated power outlets or storage, its sturdy steel frame and rectangular shape make it a versatile surface for decorative displays or a compact workspace.
