This is the real deal! A French workbench used by a carpenter to execute numerous and varied carpentry projects. The bench shows lots of aging and use. There are paint stains and holes on the top, probably to hold tools. If you love the Industrial look, this table will work well in your interior as a console in a kitchen or foyer. A great restaurant piece as well.. A bottom shelf provides added storage. Very sturdy and heavy. Imported from France.
