I recently bought a Noguchi coffee table that seems to be brilliant quality. I have poured over forums, scoured posts but I can’t get a definitive answer. Maybe I never will! I said I’d try here as you guys are a font of information and full of reason! 

The measurements match to a T, and the glass is 3/4 of an inch thick. The rod is aluminum, and there are no etched signatures on the glass, though it’s scratched in places, a bit more heavily in the middle. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Base appears to be a lighter-colored wood stained dark brown. Herman Miller never did that except on the black lacquered bases. Maybe remeasure the thickness of the glass top, too. Could be perspective or parallax, but proportions look a bit "off" to my eye.

Thank you @tktoo2! I have never seen a genuine Noguchi table so I had no reference other than wishy washy information online! I did remeasure, it does measure up exactly but I don’t hold much store to that. Information on the stained lighter wood is invaluable, I didn’t think of that.
