The spare, economical lines of this design make it one of the classic forms of Chinese furniture. The basic proportions were adapted to make large painting tables, smaller tables, benches and stools. This form is referred to in the Classic of Lu Ban as a 'character one' table due to its similarity in profile to the single horizontal stroke of the Chinese character for 'one'.

Compare a huanghuali recessed-leg table of similar proportions and elegant splay to the legs sold at Christie's New York, The Lai Family Collection of Fine Chinese Furniture and Works of Art, 17 September 2015, lot 922. See, also, a slightly longer (165.6 cm.) huanghuali table with a single-panel floating top sold at Christie's New York, 13-14 September 2012, lot 1343.
