I'm about to buy an Alanda Coffee table from a private seller. The seller says it is an genuine B&B Italia Alanda Coffee table.
The measures are 120cm x 120cm x 26cm (25,7cm) which looks fine for me. However I'm not sure as the glass looks a little bit thin, and the feet are not flat on the bottom.
Can you tell me if this is real or fake?
PS: I already checked this thread ( http://www.designaddict.com/forum/General-discussion/Paolo-Piva-Alanda-Fake-or-real#) but I would highly appreciate if you could help me on this one.

The base looks genuine to me. I can't tell whether the glass is original.

Thank you a lot, fastfwd!
Can you tell me if the genuine glass edge is almost black, like on this picture?

looks fine to me!
if the glass is a bit thin maybe the original one was broken and he had it replaced, but that doesn't matter much, to me - what is important is the base...

Hi,
I have a Piva coffee table 'Alanda' .
Would anyone be able to tell if my table is fake or real?
It comes from the VIP reception erea of a company, where stood at least twenty years.
The table base is in good condition, the glass has some scratches.
Thanks in advance.
