Dimensions: height 36.5 cm, width 124 cm, depth 71.5 cm.

What makes this table especially appealing is its layout with six drawers, three on each side, finished with understated metal handles. This gives the piece a great deal of practical storage space for papers, drawing tools, small objects, or everyday items, while keeping the top beautifully open and spacious.

The wood has developed a richly aged surface with characterful signs of use, subtle tonal variation, and light imperfections that are entirely consistent with its age and original function. These traces of time give the table its charm and contribute to its natural, honest appearance.

The condition is good, sturdy, and functional.

Today, this piece works particularly well as a stylish and elegant coffee table, a low side table, or a striking interior accent in a calm contemporary setting. At the same time, it remains perfectly suited for working in a traditional Japanese seated manner, whether for writing, drawing, reading, or displaying objects. A timeless Japanese piece of furniture with warmth, simplicity, and excellent usability. See less
