This is a truly beautiful piece. I'd buy it in a second.

looks too much like an ironing board.

Actually, I think it would make a great ironing board if the top piece were a little longer. Add a cover when you need to iron, take it off when you want a stylish table. I love dual-purpose furniture for small spaces.

nice but rickety-looking.

Gorgeous! It wants to be mine. ^_^

Cute!

Looks great but those sticking out legs are just waiting to be tripped over.
