For sale is a genuine teak wood coffee table that is generally used in a living room and placed to the side of a sofa. But it can also be used in other settings and for other purposes.
This table was handmade by Denka Mobler / Mobelfabrik in Denmark. It is from the Scandinavian mid-century-modern (MCM) genre of furniture, first made popular in the 1950s and 1960s.
The overall size of the table is 28" wide, 28" deep, and 21" tall. It is constructed of a top teak wood platform, which has an insert for the glass, which fits perfectly on recessed groves on the top. At the bottom are four teak wood legs permanently fixed to the top wooden platform.
All teak wood pieces are solid through and through, and not just teak veneer over MDF. The wooden pieces on the top platform and the legs are solid wood beams that are 2.5" wide and 2.5" deep. The removable clear glass insert within the tabletop measures 24" wide and 24" deep. The reinforced and tempered glass measures 0.25" in height. The entire table is extremely sturdy, but it only weighs about 15 pounds!
The table is in excellent condition. Structurally, it's in incredibly robust condition, with no wood bending, warping, or fatigue. The legs attach to the tabletop with incredible sturdiness.
Cosmetically, everything is also in excellent condition, especially considering it's several decades old. There are some extremely tiny scratches on some teak surfaces from normal wear. But these cosmetic issues don't affect the structural integrity of the table. And these cosmetic issues don't significantly detract from the beauty of the teak grain.
But there is one important thing to note about the condition of the table. While the removable top glass insert is intact with no major surface scratches or smudges, there are three small chips in the glass at the corners. Please see Pictures 22 to 23 for closeups. The chips are about 1 inch in size. The good news is that since these chips are near the corners, they are somewhat hidden from view when place on the tabletop, with the chipped-side in the down position.
Also, the table normally has some small 1" round wooden pegs that serve to cover the holes underneath the tabletop where the wooden beams are secured to each other. Six (6) of these pegs have fallen off and are no longer available. Please see Picture 15 of a closeup of one of these holes. The good news is that the holes are underneath the tabletop and not normally visible, unless you specifically poke your head underneath the tabletop.
You can pick up from my house near the San Jose Airport. You can easily fit this into a standard sized passenger car.
Or I can provide FREE delivery to your front ground-floor entryway if you live within 20 miles of my house in San Jose (zip code 95126). Or I could charge a small fee if you live further away. Please feel free to inquire.
I prefer that you reach out via text message. Sending an initial email message is OK. But arranging pickup solely using email is not a feasible option for me. Eventually, you'll have to text me to arrange a specific pickup or delivery time.
Please note that I have three other matching Denka Mobler tables posted separately on Craigslist, including an extremely large coffee table for $500, a large entryway table for $400, and a small end table for $160. If you purchase all four tables at the same time, you can have them all for $1,000 (firm and non-negotiable). This would be a $360 discount, which would be more than 25% off. Please feel free to inquire.
