eBay watch: Midcentury split-level side table

Table

We're all for affordable midcentury design, which this split-level side table is right now.

The picture says it all really, a late 50s / early 60s table that's laid out over two levels, offering a bit of midcentury cool to your living room.

Sadly, no details of materials or designer, but there is a condition report, which says it has 'slight wear' (a couple of faded round water stains, a small tear in the plate framing), but overall, sounds fine. Just £9 right now. Oh yes, it does come apart for shipping.
