Title: What kind of table is this?
Post by: KC on January 24, 2022, 11:49:32 pm: This item came up for sale in my local area. It looks more like the style of ?

I have never seen a table with 4 drops and they all close up. It is being sold as a tea table with 4 drop shelves. But, it wouldn't be convenient opening on all four sides for tea or a smoking table.

I personally don't believe it is a tea table but a side table. Thoughts, ideas?
