This great little 17" table is perfect for a small corner and that quiet game of chess or checkers! The top has a beautiful "burl like" grain in the mahogany with a checker board inlaid with what appears to be Oak & Walnut. The pedestal with three feet was added to this table top...definately not original, although the two seem to work well together! If you're not one to play Chess or Checkers, this would function well as a lamp or side table.
