The table is octagonal with a black frame around the edge. The top appears to be a marbled gray surface with a circular indentation in the center. The table's base has a single column that tapers and then bulges out in the middle. The base splits into three curved legs. The entire table appears to be black. The table is titled "Tilt-top Tea Table".
