The centerpiece that doesn't have a centerpiece price tag.

Thirty inches of marble-white top doing what a coffee table actually does. Two lower tiers underneath for the books, the remotes, the magazines you keep meaning to finish. Slim gold frame holds it together with the restraint that reads expensive — without spending what expensive usually costs.

Wipes clean with a tissue. Looks the same in year three as it did on day one.

The housewarming-ready piece nobody has to know was under a hundred dollars.
