Political End Tables

State Tables are Great for the Patriotic

— December 2, 2012 — Art & Design
It's never too late to show support for the political party of choice with State Tables that are designed to reflect political preferences.

Designed by Julie Purpura and Jonathan Lancaster, these State Tables are made of a high-density fiberwood that has a clean lacquered finish and can be used as end tables as well as coffee tables. It's always nice to be reminded of one's hometown and would make great gifts and novelty items, especially for those who are homesick. These political end tables are shaped in all the States of America except for Alaska, Florida, Hawaii and Maryland which are currently unavailable. For those who wish to remain politically neutral, other colors are available too such as salmon, green, grey, purple and a few other selections.
