I bought this side table to go next to a mid century lounge chair in my second home. It's the perfect spot to set down a cup of coffee or glass of wine. It's works because the chair is low and the bold oval/wave details are compatible with my contemporary condo. The color is ivory with a trace of brown highlighting the details. This would also be beautiful on the patio with a potted plant on top. Be sure to note the dimensions. This is too low for a side table next to an ordinary chair. It's small diameter makes it unsuitable for a lamp. But it was perfect for my purposes. Nicely crafted.
