It was dark but from what we could see of this metal and wood table it was servicable and in ok shape. It had nice scrollwork details, probably over a decade old based on the styling, aaaaaaand the amount of dust on it.
I kid, it actually wasn't too bad, just some dust inside the scrollwork- because who would dust that?
After the requisite cleaning we paused to look at it.
We could't tell if the wood was solid, burl veneer, or maybe some sort of patterned pressboard product. Furniture mystery.
There were a few spots where the knots/burls had been scuffed, so maybe that means there is some real wood? If anyone is more informed about this table or others like it feel free to leave a comment.
The next day we swapped some tables around and arrived at this arrangement. It works for now since the heavy metal look doesn't really go with the rest of the furniture, but since you only see bits of it from the rest of the room it doesn't overwhelm the space.

Its a useful entryway table and sofa end table. For $0 I'd say it was a lucky night on the town.
Happy freestyling.
