The Nautique Console Table is a beautiful and elegant table with its unique and gentle curves and rich finish. Constructed in the highly traditional style, it is reminiscent of the best and most enduring furniture of the colonial period in western culture. This Nautique console table from Astoria Grand has a solid wood construction as it is made from hardwood solids and wood products. The distressed wood help to highlight the beauty of the materials used. It is a beautiful and elegant piece whose most distinctive feature is its shape. It is a free form shape which is roughly rectangular, but the corners have been modified to create a completely new look. The beautiful and enduring deep finish is another attractive feature of this table. It is supported on four legs, making it quite strong and sturdy. The linenfold pattern inlays of maple and walnut on the top and the front apron enhance the beauty of this piece, yet it remains unpretentious. It is traditional in style and can fit perfectly in any room with a traditional, mixed or contemporary decor. Some assembly is needed to use this table. Place this in the living room or drawing room and you will be imparting a touch of the great furniture makers of Europe to home.
I was in the furniture industry for nearly 30 years with Lane, La-Z-Boy, and finished up as a VP for a Hooker furniture division. The veneer work reminds me of Lane, the ease of assembly reminds me of La-Z-Boy, and the solid construction reminds me of Hooker. So we basically got the best attributes we were looking for. No cons with this piece.. Roger. Forest, VA. Sat Nov 21 2015
