The Story Behind the Product
Akwasi Agyeman was born into a family of 12 children in the small tribal village of Foase in Ghana, West Africa. The family was so poor that Akwasi was limited to only a 7th grade education in order to help his father farm to feed the family. In 7th grade his teacher asked each of them to make something for art class. Akwasi produced a Fertility Doll as his project and amazed the teacher. Akwasi knew then he had a natural talent for carving. After ten years and with the help of Fair trade Akwasi is now married with two handsome boys. He employs 15 people and has built a small three bedroom house for his family. Akwasi and his fellow artisans hope you enjoy their work.

As previous reviewers noted, this is a small accent table. I am 5 4 and this item does not meet my knee. Although it is not functional, it is a beautiful conversation piece. I am happy with my purchase.
This is the perfect little accent table when you're short on space. I purchased one a year or two ago for myself and another recently for my daughter's new apartment. The workmanship is great but remember that they are handmade so no two are exactly alike. I would suggest you purchase two at time so they are close to matching. The one I purchased a few years ago is slightly larger than the one I purchased for my daughter although the dimensions are said to be the same. All-in-all, this is a really nice little piece.
These tables look nice, but are tiny and unsturdy - not practical, but they're cheap. Just be aware that you shouldn't buy these AT ALL to be a practical part of your house; get them for art.

The table is well crafted and cute and exactly as described, it is just tiny.. I don't know that I read the specs well. Basically you could use it for a corner lamp but otherwise it is too small to do anything with.
