That table is awesome! Who makes it?

I like it, but it makes me anxious. Like an irrational fear that it will tip over or get broken. I'm sure it's not as fragile as it looks, but I don't think I could live with it in my home without always being on edge every time I see it.

It looks like it could be very easily knocked over.

I would like it better if it looked like a table instead of a tablecloth. It does nothing for me this way.

I am curious how stable it is. Could it hold a lamp? It's a bit kitchy, but I like it.

Hot. Until the novelty wears off.

I think this is a piece that totally depends on the rest of the decor. In the right space, it could be very cool, in the wrong one, very tacky.

Maybe it's because it's Halloween, but is anyone else getting a Great Pumpkin vibe?

I like it very much; it is both surprising and subtle.

I think it's really cool and entertaining. But I bet dusting it would suck.

Why do y'all assume it's easier knocked over, or less sturdy, than a regular table?

I think that *illusion* is where the success, beauty and poetry of this table lie...

And K T G, if it looked like a table it would be, um, an acrylic table, no?

I get it but I am not a big fan of plastic. I could only use something like this outside. I am not a fan of whimsy. As far as this sort of thing goes, I like the Stark chairs better.

I've loved this for a long time, but then, I love most invisible furniture.

i like it - but i think it only will look good on its own, like in the picture :-D it definitely is a piece for a photo studio setting, not in a real life place.

It comes in other colors as well. I prefer the more solid white myself.

It actually looks better on-line than in person.

Like it-but it also reminds me of a plexi-glass ash tray jr. high shop class project from 1978....
