Nice but can be unwieldy depending on your space

This is a very nice classic design fusing the natural with the modern. It looks great in virtually any environment and I particularly like it in Walnut.
However, it's very heavy and cannot be moved by one person, nor easily. If it's in front of a sofa bed for example, it's very difficult to get it moved out of the way to un-fold the bed.
Also, if you tend to put your feet up on the table while sitting on your sofa, the glass can slide on the wood legs and end up scratching the bottom of the glass so you have to be vary careful!
In the end, I sold this table for something a bit more functional, the Nelson bench by Herman Miller, which is also a timeless classic mid-century modern piece. I like that I can move that out of the way easily any time I want.
What I Likeclassic timeless design
What I Dislikebig, heavy, glass scratches easily
Yes, I recommend this product.

Putting my feet up
While sitting on a couch, is it safe to "put my feet up" on a Noguchi table?
You have to be careful doing this as the glass top could slide, scratching the underside.
