A small table is common near the entry door, to catch mail, keys, and other "junque." It can be a traditional rectangular shape, or sometimes is an opportunity for a semi-circular table such as this.
A drawer is common, to hide keys and other items that might be tempting to a stranger visiting the house (we won't discuss whether salesmen should stay outside or be invited in).

This is the half-round table before delivery - the front legs are tapered on three sides, and the back two legs are tapered on two sides, as traditional with "square" tables. The top is a "starburst" of quartersawn walnut - fine straight grain with narrow pieces. |
The drawer front was curved, but I played with the curve so it would have some interest as it connected with the legs. The front could also have matched the table apron to be less visible. |

As you can see, this entry table was built to fill a specific niche near the front door of the client. This is sometimes called a demilune table, half moon, or more generally a curved semicircle shape. |
