I think it is a cut down library table. It fits in well in that room.

I like it too. I like table that have added purpose or options. The coffee table in our living room is a glass top with a shelf below. It houses my kaleidoscope collection. At least until there are grandchildren. I also have a console table that butterflies into a square table that we have used pulled up to our sectional for additional seating for games or casual dining. We have an end table that is a chess table as well.

Oh, right, a library table. Here’s one.

Nice! I love that it’s good looking AND practical!

It does look like a cut down desk.

In the late 90s, we purchased this kitchen table from our favorite antique store. DH cut the legs down, but to keep the pretty feet, we cut out a center section. This photo was two houses ago in the lower level den. Currently using in our living room. Our adult children ask us why we still have and use this table - we love it!

When we were looking for a coffee table for our beach house, I ended up buying a PB Kids ”play table” and had DH cut the legs down. It was a great, solid wood coffee table that we used for many years. It is now being used in DD’s apartment. Still looks great!

I have old school desks used as end tables.

We have an antique library desk in our office. I had it painted black and slightly distressed. On each side there is an opening for books with a "door" that pulls down to access. The doors are glass.

We have an oak library desk,prob from a school setting, open ends, in our mudroom. It's the resting spot for mail/packages and right next to the paper shredder. DH and I bought it some 40 years ago. We loved that some kid had carved a small f-word on one of the drawers. (It's not at all obvious, but we know it's there.)

I really like the table sueb posted.

Nice table, Ida.

Yeah, wish I had a place for it! I do work from home some and briefly considered replacing my current desk, but I've grown accustomed to having a keyboard drawer.

Lucky find! You know how we debate whether to paint or not to paint wood furniture? I'm pro painting except on quarter sawn oak furniture which is all of the above. It's a crime to do so. lol

Oakley, the finish on the desk was not in the best of condition, so we had it painted. I will not paint a quality piece of furniture (especially an antique) in good condition. I do think a painted piece or two looks good in a house, especially with as many antique oak pieces as we have (brown furniture LOL). I do have a bakers cabinet and a side table that are painted, I bought them that way. To go with the black library desk, we bought a black buffet to use as a credenza (I shared the pic earlier), but again, it was already painted. All the wood furniture in our home is antique. I shared my most recent FBMP find not long ago, a secretary. But now, looking at the room, I realize I need a chair with color. I have a small, cane seat wood chair that sits next to the secretary (can be used if one wanted to pull the desk down and actually use it), but I am looking for a chair that could be painted; it will probably be painted green. I have a lady who has a business with painted furniture.
