Coffee table - how much is it worth?

You're right it does seem to be an oriental opium table! Thanks I wish I could just shrink it a bit as I love the style

It's definitely not pine! It's hardwood, just not something I know

With straight legs, perhaps £200, but that badly warped, £50 is my best and final.

Lots of knots in that wood and open grain, hardwood should have a finer grin ?

But I know nowt😊

Similar table on Marketplace near us for £35 and not sold for 7 weeks.

...the sides and legs look a bit like Yew, but not so sure about the top.

(quite hard, but not a 'hardwood')

It won’t be English yew, some timber off a scrapped Hull trawler 😊

Looks more like Oak to me, definitely more than £50 but way well end up at that price.

That idea sounds a bit fishy.

With your username I'd thought this would be right up your street 😄
