With a width of 51 inches, this lovely oval table will provide good seating for a small group, and has the advantage of not having an apron to get in the way of knees or chairs. The vendange table, typically used in the wine tasting room at the vineyard, is often found with the top tilted straight up for storage against the wall when not in use. The swivel base is quite easy to use, and is sturdy, tho for holding the top open permanently, it is simple to fix it in place. The walnut color is rich and warm. A great breakfast or lunch table. Small latch closure keeps the top in place so no wobbling. There is a small warp to the top, which does not affect the stability or usability of the table. However the price reflects this small flaw.
