[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 19583, member: 37"]Greg, If yours has a leaf, it is neither a sofa or library table. I would call it a console table or serving table that converts for dining. One could certainly use it behind a sofa or in a library but with that leaf, I suspect the best use would be in the dining room as a server or in the living room as a console until ready for that extra large dinner party. I see no one addressed the age or wood of the OP's table. Looks like poplar, circa 1925. I imagine this had a mahogany or walnut veneer and the solid parts were stained to match.[/QUOTE]
