Is teh cool! We just finished making and delivered this victorian - inspired table made of hardwood with an aluminum core to a downtown San Francisco client. We purchased the chairs to go with it.

The top surface is a white board laminate...

The top flips up on hydraulic lifts that keep it in place in the down and up positions.

It's a standing white board, and a white board table! With storage for pens and erasers on the inside.

The hardwood with an aluminum core is a striking look, and makes it super sturdy!
