Not really
When my wife and I discussed it we realized that the table did not work for us. We had just purchased another Knoll International Tulip table for the Bertoias that you see in the photograph.
So we decided to post it on ebay which is something that I rarely do, in that, craigslist usually proves sufficient. However, the Los Angeles craigslisters are more into mid century/danish rather than recent design productions such as this table. I hope that the listing proves low enough to make someone happy. By the way NO Shill Bidding.....

Good Luck Lenox
There have been a number of Gehry listings lately, so maybe someone will want your table as well.

Questions about my Knoll bedroom set
When was this set produced and why are there such few examples available? When I mention to others that Knoll produced bedroom furniture everyone always states "Knoll produces bedroom furniture?."
Secondly, this headboard is for a king mattress and we have a queen mattress. My wife wants to buy a storage platform, however, I personally like the Japanese style platform beds. So, can anyone produce ideas of how we can solve this dilemma?
Lastly, I need to sell a chair and I am trying to decide which one compliments the dresser/vanity the best. Would you choose what looks to be a Cherner chair or the series 7 on casters. Blessings

interesting!--I picked up
those same two bedside tables in San Diego a couple years ago: seller told me Knoll, and the price was good enough that I didn't worry about confirmation.....

Nice
I may have a lead on two more dressers. If anyone has information on the person who designed this set please let me know. We have a coffee table that was designed by Lewis Butler and it resembles the legs on this set. I wonder if he designed these pieces as well?

No date
However, here is a photograph of the dresser label. Additionally, the headboard has the same version of this label with one exception. That is, it is composed of cloth. Blessings

Yes, Knoll did design...
Yes, Knoll did design bedroom furniture. Richard Schultz designed a single and double bed for Knoll. They do seem to be uncommon, and sometimes people mistake these for George Nelson beds, though they are quite different. I recently found one and just got it reupholstered. I think those bedside tables with the white top are also Richard Schultz (which would mean the whole bedroom suite is done by Schultz).

Lenox..
According to the Knoll book, your bedroom set (including headboard) was designed by Florence Knoll and produced between 1956-1973 (depending on piece).
Your bedside tables were made in a variety of configurations with or without drawer, lower shelf, plastic top, etc. There is a nearly identical table in teak with a plastic top that is listed as Richard Schultz so that's probably where a lot of confusion comes.

There is also
There is also a new tome out simply titled: Knoll. Its 75$ so I've only looked at it in the store, but it seems very complete with detailed product stories, years items were produced (and stopped). And runs all the way up to their new god-awful Generations chair.
