A Cantonese style Mah-jong table.
This table consists of two main structures. The table top with four drawers and a set of foldable legs. The table top has a floating panel that is inserted to the frame using tongue and groove joints. The edges of the top frame are moulded and slightly protrude above the table top; thus providing a barrier for the mah-jong tiles to slip off the table top. A high waist is built to accommodate a drawer on each side of the table and also to house the tenons of the legs. The low edges of the waist are beaded endowing the table with subtle grace and finesse.
The four legs are joint together using a cross device. Each two legs of the opposite corners are joint with a structure consisting two horizontal bars running in parallel and the distance between the parallel has three vertical bars which help to strengthen the structure. The central part on both sides of the horizontal bars of one of the leg structures are carved into mortises holding a a piece of wood that goes through the central mortise of the horizontal bars of the other leg structure and the piece of wood that goes through the central mortise also serves as the tongue for the mortises on both sides of the other leg structure. A metal pin is used to go through the mortises and the tongue so that the horizontal bars can pivot and fold comfortably.
