The Monroe table cushion rails are constructed of a 3-ply body consisting of three layers of woods of alternating grain glued together to insure the rails against climatic changes. The center of these plies through which the cushion bolts are placed is of hard maple. Maple is used for this purpose because it holds the cushion bolts firmly in place. The top of the rail is constructed of American walnut. The rails are securely fastened to the table by invisible cushion bolts covered by blind cushion rail facing which is built up of 5-ply compound construction and faced with a selected grade mahogany veneer.
This table can be furnished with any style Monarch perfect angle cushion.
