Up-and-down "Versitable" by Tepper-Meyer Associates of San Francisco, produced by Fred Meyer circa 1954. The two-position design can function as a dining or writing table in the higher position, and a coffee table in the lower position. The enameled iron legs notch into brackets set at two different positions underneath, and the table also folds flat for shipping or storage. This example has a white micarta top. The Versitable was featured regularly in the design literature of the time (New Furniture, Current Design, etc) and was a MoMA "Good Design" selection in 1953. Dining height for the table is 29 in.; coffee table height is 15.75 in.

Good structural condition. Areas of wear and loss of enamel to the iron base. Superficial scratches and some mottling to the micarta surface.
