ConstructionThe gates pivot in opposite directions. The drawer is supported on a central runner. The walnut top has been replaced. The table retains its old, if not original, finish. The base frame has been notched to allow modern screws to be added to further strengthen the new top attachment. The drawer knob is missing.
