The Wire Leg Table is available as…

a Rectangular table.

An Oval table.

And a Round table.

And if you’re not in need of a dining table, some of the smaller sizes are useful as a desk. Look at how Vastu designer Ray Nguyen is using the 59″ Rectangular Wire Table in his space in our lower showroom!

To get started, you must decide if you are planning to personalize a sofa, sectional, lounge chair, dining chair, bench, ottoman, or bed.

Step 1: Style

You can choose from a number of standard Steven Anthony styles either shown in our showroom or on our online catalog, or personalize a style all your own with our design staff.  And keep in mind, our standard styles are just guides. You can change any of the styles in a number of ways.

Step 2: Dimensions

Sofas and sectionals are available in any length in 6-inch increments. A popular sofa length among out city-dwelling customers is 72″ L (or 6′), but we can do 60″, 66″, 78″, 84″, 90″ etc.  For example, we have a Milano sofa at 72″ L…

…or 84″ L
