Know before you buy
The table is in good vintage condition, meaning it has been well-maintained over its 45-year lifespan. You can expect minor cosmetic signs of use, such as light surface scratches, which are typical for furniture of this age and generally blend into the finish.
At 27 inches wide and 27 inches deep, this table has a slightly larger surface area than many modern end tables, which typically range from 18 to 24 inches. Its 24-inch height is standard, making it an ideal companion for most sofas and armchairs.
While the specific wood or material type is not documented, pieces from the 1970s were frequently constructed from solid hardwoods or high-quality veneers. You can expect a sturdy, substantial build quality characteristic of furniture from that era.
To preserve the wood, avoid harsh chemical cleaners and direct sunlight, which can cause fading. We recommend using a high-quality furniture wax or a gentle wood oil periodically to nourish the surface and maintain its luster.
Given its 27-inch square footprint and 24-inch height, it will likely require a vehicle with a fold-down seat or a cargo area. We recommend measuring your trunk or backseat space before arriving to ensure a secure fit.
