This is a very sturdy table made up of all solid wood pieces. The top is laminated strips of 1" thick solid wood, maple I believe. The legs are 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" thick. This table was used in the Baltimore public school system in the late 1950's or early 1960's on. The wood has a beautiful patina, and clean, simple details very much in the tradition of the Shaker style.
