What's a reasonable overall height for the table? 30-ish inches?

It's actually going into a hall area, so no sense in me measuring our
sofas...


I have a Cherry hallway table that I made from Norm Abrams' Shaker
Furniture book and it is 30 inches tall (48x16 inch top). My
sister-in-law has commissioned a Maple sofa table and I'm using the same
basic dimensions. 30 inches seems to be a nice height for both
applications.

What is the material used for the inset on the referenced table?
