Hand-carved African Table (Ghana)

This contemporary coffee table adds an African accent to your decorating scheme.

Handmade by artisans in Ghana, this table's shape suggests an hourglass in chocolate- and rust-finished wood. It's made from sturdy sese wood, which is common in Ghana. Sese wood is often used for handcarved pieces, because of its durablity and resistance to cracking. A closer look at the table reveals the shape of a woman carrying the tabletop on her head. Handcarved geometric trim highlighted with white paint accents every surface.

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.

Too Small, Jan 30, 2008

Soo disappointed! Very small, not carved well, Definitely not worth the money. Won't return because of shipping costs. One of my worst Overstock purchases.

My sister started collecting african art a couple years ago. She opened her gift this year and loved the handcarved table. She thinks I'm a big spender now. It's beautiful.

unique table, Jun 1, 2007
By DB123456 from Phoenix, AZ

It is a small table, room to hold a drink and remote. That's all. but it has the one of a kind look I was going for. Colorful and stands out in the room. I would definitely recommend.

I really like this table. A little smaller than I imagined but it is great as an end table for a sofa. My only personal issue was that the surface is carved so if you spill anything on it, or let it get dusty it is difficult to clean the crevices on the surface. But that is part of the design and overall I like the product. Looks great.
