West Elm coffee table, smoked oak with black legs
Description
I lost my West Elm coffee table yesterday around 3pm near Pike Place Market, outside the Market front on Pine Street by 1st Ave. It's a mid-century inspired piece, smoked oak veneer with black metal legs, about 48 inches long. The top has a few light scratches from daily use and there's a small dent on the underside of the shelf; there's also a faded West Elm tag on the bottom and a missing corner cap on the right leg, which makes it lean a touch. It means a lot to me—it was a gift from my sister-in-law and ties my living room together. If anyone found it, please drop me a note here.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
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.
