Slat bench ID  

I'm not sure if it helps but it's 84 inches wide. Lol

That looks like a piece of a yacht that someone salvaged and put hairpin legs on.

what leif said.

That's funny, I was going to say it looks like a headboard with hairpin legs!!

LOL, definitely a teak swim deck from a boat, with hair pin legs added. Unbelievable. I think you can safely offer bottom dollar for that.

Haha! Wow! That has to be it! I'm somewhat embarrassed (being from Florida and all), that I didn't immediately see that!! How random

I wouldn't sweat it, it is a descent looking table if you run it through a table saw and make it symmetrical.

I'd wager that the teak slat top was off of a mid 1970's Hatteras sport fisherman. Probably a nice ship.

Consider removing the hairpins and hanging it on a wall as art/texture.... Or morph it into a large suspended light fixture.

I just don't approve of the hairpin leg/ slat teak marriage.

Nice artifact, though,

Aunt Mark, village idiot.

I rather like the slat top, asymmetry and all. The hairpins have got to go. This sort of marriage is hard to accomplish in a way that is congruent with the abstract knowledge of what it was before. Ideally it would just levitate in the front of the sofa without anything forceably married to it, but that is obviously not possible. A museum would present it on a matte black painted pedestal. That would probably work.

Perhaps if it sat upon a slender simple bronze cage...it would smoke as a coffee table ( very low!!!). And don't change it's shape. No.

Perhaps,

Lol, you guys crack me up.

I just can't do the asymmetry here, it is the engineer in me ...... I just cannot repress it sometimes.

What about putting it on top of a very sturdy glass tank filled with seawater. The top of the tank would have to be covered, otherwise cigarette butts and gum wrappers could floating in there after awhile.

PS, even cinderblocks are preferable to hairpin legs, in my opinion!

You can get 90 degree brackets for thick glass. You could use them to mount a couple of slabs of glass underneath it as legs.

or just buy a boat. any boat. it might be a good idea. perhaps? Can you swim?

Best,

Aunt Mark
