The four legs are long, thin, and curved, tapering towards the bottom where they end in small feet. The legs are positioned at each corner of the table. The feet of the legs are shaped like animal paws. The background of the image is plain white. The table is centered in the image. The overall appearance is sleek and minimalist.
