how can I tell. I just got back from the garbage department here at work. Outside they had a table with those herman miller style legs i see so often. So I asked them if they needed it, they said winters coming so i can take it for free!
Now i am trying to find away to tell if its the real thing.. Usually herman miller puts stickers on his tables, and I havent found one on this..

the base looks EXACTLY like the one in the link... Could be a vitra table.. anyone know how I can tell?

Depends on where you're located
In the USA, Herman miller continues to produce this table.
I know 'cause I bought one earlier this year, during the Herman Miller 10% annual sale, brand new from HIVE Modern, who is an offical Herman Miller distributor.
I got the table with a grey top and grey edge.....
I bought it (36" w | 36" L | 28.5" h) for my basement record room; I need a large square for sorting, etc.

i couldnt save the table top
it was to damaged from the water.
Here is the base of the table. i now need to find a table top that will fit on this. I am thinking of getting something in black. Still need to polish the legs...
