About Cross Furniture Removable Coffee Table

Cross Furniture is a removable coffee table designed for small homes, with a matching backless seat. Cross Furniture is made from solid wood, apple leather, acrylic and cement. A traditional mortise and tenon structure joins the parts, so no screws are needed. Assembly takes two or three steps, and the finished piece is firm and durable. The legs follow the curved apron shape of Ming style furniture, giving a simple and calm appearance. The flat packed form lowers transport costs and suits online sales and frequent moves.
