The Noguchi table comes in a variety of proportions. The glass is a variety of thicknesses so if it is a short term use maybe $ are the only factor. If you want a stunning piece then $800 and up are worth the cost. I have oiled the walnut base over the years and it looks great. I am a woodworker so this table gives me joy, sunlight falling on it is a wonder. It works well with traditional as well as contemporary.
