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.

The handcrafted nature of this product will produce minor differences in design and sizing. Subtle variations will occur from piece to piece, adding to its unique qualities. Measurements may vary slightly.

"I love this table! It is really quite small, so if you are looking for an end table, this is not for you. It is perfect for setting a plant on.

Great deal for the price!

"Adorable little table. I had read other reviews where the tusks fell out, so I just put a dab of glue on them when I inserted them into the elephant heads. Worked great. It was a perfect gift for the elephant collector in the family. I would highly recommend this table. "

Not very well made

★★★☆☆

3.0

"I was disappointed when I received the table. It has a shabby chic, worn look to it instead of a finished look, which I did not see in the picture. The table is not very well made, the tusks kept falling out and are now lost. I would not buy it again. "

"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. "
