Mid-century coffee table

Over the past few weeks I've kept my eyes peeled for a slightly larger coffee table for the living room. I've looked everywhere for a nice mid-century style one...

I was completely thrilled when I stumbled upon a round mid-century table in my travels. It's in good condition but it will still need to be sanded back and have some chips filled, as well as a good drink of Danish oil.


It pretty much ticks all the boxes except that it is much taller than I had first thought. And I'm still not used to having a round coffee table either. But for $20, I really shouldn't complain!



Jason doesn't know that I bought the table as I'm going to do an experiment to see if he actually notices it... I predict he won't notice the table for at least the first hour when he gets home later today.

Have a great weekend everyone!

  4. I can see it is a bargain but I think you need a rectangular table with a shelf underneath preferably a netted cane.

    1. Yes, I know...I'm not 100% sold on it either but I figure for the bargain price it can stick around for now...easy come, easy go! xx

  7. Beautiful...and what a deal! I actually like the round shape. It's a nice contrast to the boxy simplicity of your Wegner piece.

  8. Its lovely! Katherine had a round one with a glass top a while back, but I missed out on it. The height is always an issue in compaison with the lounge..., my lounge is low so nothing I find suits! Ive never owned a coffee table, I have an ottoman and I am sick of searching!

  12. Twenty dollars makes it a winner. I had one of those rectangular ones with the rattan underneath and lost custody of it to my sister. Dang!
