Between funky
miniaturists, obsessive Photoshoppers, and clever computer modelers, how are we to know what's "real" and what's Memorex ?
All bets are off -- sez I.

a craigslist ad
Mid-Century Modern Noguchi glass coffee table - Solid cherry wood - $225
This "design within reach" table was custom made to emulate Noguchi's coffee table by Herman Miller. It seemed easy enough to make so I got a solid piece of beautiful cherry from a saw mill and cut it to the correct shape. I then found a 3/8" thick piece of plate glass and had it cut to the proper shape and bevelled. I oiled the cherry wood with tung oil and it has aged to a deep vibrant red. The two legs of the table are joined by an aluminum rod.
>>>>A very successful replica of the famous table by designer Isamu Noguchi which goes for $1500.
Selling for $225

Well -- it could
be worse. Wood too thick (and not correctly, but decently, shaped), glass too thin. The knot really makes it, though ?
He/she got the long edges correctly concave. Whew !

I went to a party recently..
And the owner (300 or more pounds and probably 6' 10" tall) get up on top of his (authentic) Noguchi table and danced like mad. I am still amazed that it didn't snap!
Just sharing an experience, carry on.

This ebay seller who seems to think that having this frightful woman pose in their photos will help them sell.

My dear Krenit
That's not a women...but an over -used "hard-core" cross dressing middle aged male in need of a slight tummy tuck, adorned in all the wrong frock. Not pretty, but why not?
Best,
Aunt Mark.
ps Mother has an older man in her bridge club that dresses/ looks quite similar. The gals in the bridge club adore him. I think that he's rather tawdry. I shall forward this snappy to Mother. Many thanks.

Well spotted. I thought it looked familiar. Just another example of how West Elm has gone to shite.
