Burl Coffee Table
- (Coffee Tables) While any small and low table can be, and is, called a coffee table, the term is applied particularly to the sets of three or four tables made from about 1790; of which the latter were called 'quartetto tables'.
A coffee table, also called a cocktail table, is a style of long, low table which is designed to be placed in front of a sofa, to support beverages (hence the name), magazines, feet, books (especially coffee table books), and other small items to be used while sitting, such as coasters.

Redwood Burl Coffee Table
This belonged to my parents for many, many years. I inheritated it when Mother moved in with Joyce, but Becky "babysat" the table until I would have a chance to move it to Texas. When Becky set up her stuff in the apartment at Joyce's, I didn't have the heart to take it away from her. It fit her decor so perfectly that I told her she could have it....but I get visitation rights.
