About the Item

This antique low table was crafted in the Early Showa Period '1926-'. In Japan, where people traditionally sit on the floor, tables are designed to be lower in height compared to Western-style tables. Known as a chabudai, this traditional Japanese folding table features collapsible legs, allowing it to be stored compactly when not in use. What makes this piece special is that it is crafted from oak wood—a rare choice for chabudai—showcasing the distinctive and attractive grain patterns typical of Japanese oak. The gently shaped legs add a charming touch, making it a simple yet delightful presence in any space. As an antique piece, minor scratches and marks may be present, each adding to its unique charm and the story it tells over time. Cleaned and disinfected with non-toxic solution. We have conducted a meticulous check for any broken or damaged areas, and the result is absolutely problem-free. It is in excellent condition. Weight :18.3lbs(8.3kg) Shipping Information We ship from Japan. I will provide my own shipping quote. Please ask.
