Envelope tables are raised upon square shaped legs with spade feet and vary in design. Amazingly, envelope tables are foldable; the table houses a sub-top providing strength and structure for the spinning tabletop and its foldable leaves.

It is an elegant rotating sizeable side table measuring at least 22” square when folded and up to 31” square when opened.  Mahogany is the traditional material preferred to bring out its elegant look.
