These tables have been used in The West as round coffee tables, dog beds & seats. Chakki tables are repurposed teak rice grinding mills from villages in Rajasthan or Gujarat. Originally used with quern stones for grinding wheat or other grains. There is normally a small door at the side for the flour to come out. The Hindi name for these hand operated mills is 'Chakki' or 'Chukki.'
