    This table is 29" tall with a 16"x16" top. I've never seen this style of spindle legs before and was hoping one of the experts here could shed some light on what this table is used for. Along with the style and era.

    Thanks for any info.

    Yes!! Or, a table for your Alexa. LOL

    I'd say plant stand as well. Kind of looks like a small Parlour table as well.
