Where most modern designs are stark and uncompromising, the J & M Furniture 690A Coffee Table gives you a simple form that's ready to sit alongside any piece you choose. The body of this pleasantly understated table is made from wood with an exterior of dark oak veneers. The deep tones of the finish show off the grain of the wood veneers. A thick sheet of tempered glass goes from one end to the other, even interrupting the sides to break up the wooden style with a cool, clear slice of glass. The lower shelf is perfect for decorating, or you can enjoy the glassy elegance all by itself.
