This interesting table serves many purposes. The top lifts open to a checkers board, and also is removable for access to a backgammon board; both beautifully inlaid with walnut on the birch body. The folding top is golden birch and the base of the table, housing two pull-out trays, sits atop slender, tapered legs. The base displays a black, painted finish. Its simple design fits into many settings.
