Question Anybody have an idea what this table is called?

[Jmi20]

Been searching online for a table that seems to be common in east asian cultures like this:

I know, my example is from persona 4 of all places lol but that is what im looking for haha.

Ive searched for floor table, small table, low table, japanese table, east asian table, mini table.

All that comes up are either those extremely small circular tables that you can put at the side of your bed, or some kids table. I found an antique one though that cost $4,000!

was hoping for one that would only cost at most $100 but l dont know what exactly these tables are called so i could narrow down my search. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Look around.

You might be able to find a local craftsman who could build one for you.

Or refinish a used one if that can be found.

I actually looked around locally and all i could find were also antiques.

I had a quotation for one, but it cost $300. They said they would use a certain type of wood. Im no wood expert but thats expensive! I think im good with those $20 faux wood tables in aliexpress or something.

No disagreement there.
