Cocktail, Anyone?

A popular item that clients are often searching for is the "perfect" cocktail table. Cocktail tables, also called coffee tables have to serve many purposes in addition to being a resting place for your cocktail or coffee! We thought it would be fun to pair a great cocktail that is just right for entertaining with a few of our favorite cocktail tables from Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams. All special order cocktail tables are now 20% OFF until October 8th at Weisshouse.
