Re: Got Me A New Columbia
Sort of reminds me of the Desk Model Columbia I had when I was really young. I didn't keep it too long as it seemed odd to have the sound coming from one end and a pull out drawer that was rather strange on the other. Plus it didn't have the charm that this sort of side table has. More a box on long queen ann legs if I recall correctly. I think this one is quite interesting.
I do notice however that as in the desk model the drawer is sort of in a awkward place being away from the sound direction which would make it some what hard to place unless maybe a center of the room table which was popular at the turn of the last century and I still use in living room.
