I have one exactly like that from my mom! Well, had one. I think itʻs somewhere in AZ in storage still-- we didnʻt ship any furniture down here. That must have been the "in" thing- to cut down road dining tables into coffee tables. I spent a lot of time eating pizza off that one, both as a child and as an adult.

I have a feeling that I painted flowers over a lot of the interior walls...
