Yuck! That is one ugly table. I'm having a difficult time trying to understand it. I mean, what's the point of having a table made from levels? And that formal glass top does not match the industrial look of the levels at all. Bad idea all the way around.

i agree. unattractive -- and imagine how much worse with all the shims you'd have to use to level it out.

How long until the top, which appears unsecured, is on the floor either shattered or chipped.

What a waste of good tools.

Sheesh people, I think it's supposed to be more of a tongue in cheek thing than a serious design.

We also suffer from uneven floors (not for long, moving in two weeks!) which means that anytime we put something like a dresser against the wall we have to deal with the stupid drawers sliding open until we find the right balance of folded up pieces of paper to stick under the front legs :( The landlord insists the floors are even, I'd love to get this table and invite him over for dinner.

It made me laugh on first sight. Pretty clever.

I think it's clever but the glass top does nothing for it. Maybe a brushed metal top would compliment it better and make it rather industrial themed?

This is the only piece of postmodern furniture I can ever recall seeing on AT: bravo!

Postmodernism primer:
Tongue in Cheek = Serious Design: who wouldn't want furniture that brightens your mood every time you see it?
Everything doesn't need to match: the minimal top accentuates the levels, which are to be enjoyed for themselves, not in the way they produce a "look".

PS: the website says the top "appears to be free floating".

You just don't like it cuz it's called the "Straight" table. ;)

Um, isn't glass a pretty industrial material?

I agree with Bluestar... I think this is a statement, art-inspired piece that doesn't try to take itself too seriously, or too literally. So why are y'all?

check out their web site. I want the blue Pantone rug.

I want the Sylvia chandelier.

So patrick (the other one), what "statement" is this table trying to make? Don't get me wrong, I love humor, whimsy and irony... but this one just goes straight over my head (in a plumbed fashion, of course). What is the point of making tables out of levels?? I agree with John; it is a total waste of perfectly good tools. Plus it doesn't look all that sturdy...

You just always seem to see the glass half empty (or wobbly, or impractical, or ugly, or...).

i like funny -- but i also like aesthetically pleasing.
i agree that it's clever. but i still think it's un-attractive.
