Know before you buy
Yes, the original patterned glass top is a separate piece that rests within the rope frame, allowing it to be lifted out for easy cleaning or maintenance.
The rope is tightly woven and structured to provide a stable base for the glass top and magazines. While it is a vintage piece, it is structurally sound for holding books, magazines, and light decorative items.
As an authentic 1960s piece, the rope features a natural patina consistent with its age. This includes slight color variations and texture changes that reflect its history and artisanal craftsmanship.
The magazine rack is best suited for standard-sized magazines and slim journals. Given the dimensions of the piece, it may not accommodate oversized or heavy hardback coffee table books.
No, this piece arrives fully assembled. It is a vintage item crafted as a single unit, so you can place it in your space immediately.
