That is so fascinating! A little scary, but how bad can it be with a bowl of chips on it? Nice use of materials, and a very good concept.

Interesting all right. How bad can it be if it tips over on a small child?

It’s definitely a fantastic piece of art. Little tikes have a habit of showing up where they shouldn’t be or aren’t expected and tipping thing over. That would be my concern about using it as a table.

what a beauitiful piece….i love the wood choices very cool table…....hey topa, use it for a electrical hat…have electrical probes on the spike ends…....maybe the goverment can add it to its line up…next to waterboarding…..the agent lays on the table top…..moves around just a little….or maybe it would be considered a tickle machine…...whatever the concerns…..its a job well done…..
