Kurn's Quarters Small Table

A low, small side table set in Kurn's private quarters: plain, utilitarian in appearance with scuffs along its edge and a surface sized for a cup or personal item. The table is light and easily toppled—physically present in the exchange and then violently tipped during Worf's lunge, its overturning punctuating the confrontation and cutting across the room's intimacy.
