Teak coffee table found near Monastiraki Square
Description
I found a mid-century teak coffee table this afternoon around 4:15pm, resting on the sidewalk by Monastiraki Square in downtown Athens, just outside the flea market entrance on Ermou Street. It's a solid, warm-toned teak piece about 110 cm long, with a single shallow drawer and a brass knob; the finish shows a bit of wear but it's otherwise sturdy. There’s a small chip on the front-right leg and a faint sun-fade patch across the tabletop from years near the window. Beyond that, it’s a great fit for a living room and would look amazing with a couple of plants. If this looks like yours, please get in touch so we can reunite you with your table.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
