Each slatted chair is reinforced with a pair of spindles and has a curved back for comfort. Chairs stack underneath the table when not in use. Table: 28" H x 40 1/2" Diam.

Drum Table Plays It Loud

This drum table will certainly get on your nerves much more than that pesky colleague who has developed this nasty habit of drumming his fingers on the table throughout the entire day. Well, at least this drum table produces way more authentic sounds, but seriously - unless you're a modern musician who finds inspiration from weird gizmos, I suggest giving this a pass since your own kids might drive you mad with this new 'toy'. Good thing it isn't cheap, since a four-instrument drum table costs $800 while a sixteen-instrument drum table will set you back by $2,900. LINK, Via: Youtube
