Certainly, as a child you played on a teeter totter. If you didn't, you missed out. This console plays on the unbalanced lever effect of a teeter totter. Usually, supporting legs are visible at all corners. In this case, the console appears to balance on the point of a saw horse style base. Of course, there is a cross bar that is hidden in a recess on the underside of the console to ensure that it will not actually teeter OR totter. The frosted gold mirrored glass will fold back like a garage door and reveal a sliding drawer that can hold your keyboard or whatever you like.
