Daily eBay – 1960s coffee table

Today’s discovery is this 1960s teak and glass coffee table. It’s elegant, simple, modernist in feel, and hey, will hold books, mugs, nibbles and the cat really well!

It’s in virtually perfect condition with just a few marks on the glass commensurate with its age. Manufactured in England too. it measures 84cm in diameter and is 46cm high.

Now, strictly speaking, teak isn’t ideal in the green home, it being subject to over-forestation. So if you love the look and durability of teak but want to make absolutely sure you’re not contributing to the problem it’s better to buy secondhand versions than new.

The starting bid for this table is £45, and bidding ends September 14 at 20.04pm. It’s a pick-up only by the way, from Enfield, North London.
