This elegant handcarved three-legged elephant accent table can be used as a coffee table, lamp table, or a night stand. It is a popular favorite in many modern African homes. The leg of the table is shaped like a trunk-up elephant--a symbol of good luck among Africans.
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.

Customer Reviews
It was a little smaller than I expected but I love it as a plant stand.
I purchased this table after I had purchased 2 accent chairs that sit really low. A normal side table would not go in between these chairs because it would have been too tall. If you have short accent chairs or a plant to place in a corner, this table would work for you. The carving and detail is great.
It's a cute piece, but nothing more. It's very, very short and the image makes it look like it's a glossy black, which it is not, just a flat black with some scribble carvings on the top. I expected more substance for the price.

Item was just perfect for the space I wanted it for. It is small for an end table but, perfect for a stool or plant stand. This piece completed my jungle-safari look room
