Seb Balance Coffee Table - Walnut

The Seb Balance Coffee Table in Walnut is a 160cm boat-shaped top in walnut veneer over MDF, on PVC legs. The leg positions adjust, so the table can be set symmetrically or off-centre. It weighs 41kg and ships knocked down.

Adjustable leg positioning is a genuinely uncommon feature and the reason to look at this table over a fixed-base alternative. Setting the legs asymmetrically shifts the visual weight of a 160cm top and changes where you can sit close to it, which is useful in a room where the seating is not symmetrical either.

A boat-shaped top, wider at the middle than the ends, is the other half of that thinking. It gives you surface where people actually reach and takes the corners off where they would otherwise be walked into. Walnut veneer is the warmest finish Seb offers, and across 160cm there is a lot of grain on show. Forty-one kilograms is a two-person lift, so decide the position before assembly rather than after.
