According to Wallace-Hadrill,
On page 212, there is a photo of this small table with inlaid top, an example of the carbonized wooden furniture found in Herculaneum.
The small table was from this house.
See Wallace-Hadrill, A. (2011). Herculaneum, Past and Future. London, Frances Lincoln Ltd., (p.212).
According to De Carolis,
This type of furniture had been originally described as a stool in previous studies (44cm high), but was a sella, and from Ins.Or.II.10, and described as a wooden sella with top decorated with a star with 8 points in a veneering technique.
