Featuring a long narrow rectangular five plank boarded top with pleated end, attractive dark rustic patina and desirable overhang; above a simple tall apron with curvacious hand sculpted scalloped edge, rising on elegant cabriole legs.

29.5" High, 68" Wide, 28.5" Deep
Floor to apron clearance: 21-22"
