Cohda’s new and improved Revive Table Legs are currently being shown at UK’s leading retail show, Spring Fair International at the NEC Birmingham from Feb 6th–10th. Have a look and try them out in hall 9, stand A06.
The Revive Legs allow you to create a very durable ECO coffee table without the need for tools or skill. All you will require is a flat panel to attach them to. This could be literally anything you may have lying around!
The legs can be attached and removed within seconds and without the need for any expertise or tools, all that’s required to attach the legs is squeezing on the legs handles and they’ll clamp down firmly onto any surface, so all you need is one good arm to attach them. They can be removed just as easily with a simple release handle. The legs can be used to produce a limitless range of unique coffee tables, in various scale, depth and diameters.
With the addition of Revive Legs any flat surface can be revived into a uniquely individual coffee table.
The Revive Legs are manufactured and hand welded in the UK. They can be purchased directly from Cohda (www.cohda.com <http://www.cohda.com> ) in sets of Black or Orange here: http://www.cohda.com/?&mod=products&pageid=5&id=25 <http://www.cohda.com/?&mod=products&pageid=5&id=25>
A Dining/Desk Table version is also available in Black or Orange here: http://www.cohda.com/?&mod=products&pageid=5&id=19 <http://www.cohda.com/?&mod=products&pageid=5&id=19>
