The Card Table by Gillows has a rectangular top with two hinged halves that can be folded down to create a semi-circular surface. The table has a curved front edge and straight sides. There are two drawers on either side, each with a wooden pull. The drawers have a simple, curved design on the fronts. The tabletop is made of wood and has a smooth finish. The legs are thin and tapered, with decorative molding near the top and bottom. The table stands on four legs, each with a small foot at the bottom.
