The commodes have lift tops and the bottom steps pull out. The Petticoat table is 33 inches tall and 36 inches long. I have them hidden upstairs in my room. I have about 6 commodes. They have different carpet or linen or velvet fabrics.
Hey, it's an old Empire table pre-1860 that has a mirror on the bottom section. The mirror was used to reflect light. During this last century ( 1930's-1950's) , the idea went around that women used the mirror to check to see if their slip was showing. So they became known as petticoat tables, which is absolutely not what they were ever used for.
Explain what a petticoat table is exactingly
