<p>[QUOTE="Phil Harrison, post: 825940, member: 11507"]Yes, it seems so. What I hadn’t realised - and this is very hard to capture in an image - is that each leg (and foot) is angled towards the centre of the table at around 5 degrees... so if the table were 20 feet tall, they’d eventually meet, as if the table were the base of a very tall, slender pyramid, or obelisk. I’m sure there’s a specific term for that kind of form, if anyone can help me out? The surface area of the table top, therefore, is smaller than that of the base. Certainly seems to add another dimensions of interest (to me, at least) and presumably made for less straightforward construction. I must say, it’s a very pleasing form.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
