Between 1909 and 1910, this table underwent substantial changes that–in hindsight–make it surprising that the firm kept the same model number, rather than designating this a new model. Instead of shaped sides and single tenon with vertical key, the 1910 model had straight sides and two medial stretchers, each with a keyed tenon oriented horizontally. Rather than connecting directly to the sides, as the earlier version had done, the later version attaches to a beveled cleat that spans the width of the table top.
