The table has the same structure on both sides and can therefore be placed anywhere in the room. Ideal as a bar cart or as a special place for a hi-fi system.

the frame made of iron pipes is bent with a body made of sheet metal. There is a large lower storage space and an upper drawer. The painted iron parts have the approximate color ral 1013 pearl white.

the table surface is probably made of melamine resin / formica and shows clear signs of the times. The color is most comparable to the colors ral 7032 pebble gray and ral 7035 light gray.

the table can be expanded with an extendable heavy table top. This can be tilted using a rotary knob and its height can be adjusted using a lever. Due to use and gravity, the extension is no longer in balance. The surface, on the other hand, is still very well preserved and has the approximate color ral 9002 gray white.

While retaining the original patina / signs of wear, the object was carefully cleaned and sealed with a polishing oil wax. This means that the table is ready to be used and at the same time the very clear signs of use such as scratches, abrasion marks, abrasions or paint damage, which preserve the period authenticity, are visible. A button is missing from the drawer. See less
