Mostly for my own use, I needed a free-form table for a space I designed and there was nothing in the shop that suited my needs. That's its purpose. With almost any base I can change it into a number of things. Cocktail table top, Dining table top, Desktop, Vanity top, floating shelves with added poses or dances. I think I may try to make a spiral stairway from it someday. Have fun with it. Try before you buy and please review.
