Both pretty and clever. It's high-end flat pack.

Neat piece of art, but a stupid piece of furniture. It has a big dip in the middle and lots of thin holes everywhere else. You have to lay another tabletop on top of this just so you can put stuff on it.

Yes, it's pretty cool, but not functional.
The funny thing about saying it's made from a single piece of wood is that you could say that about anything piece or pieces of furniture made from the same tree. After all, the "single piece of wood" did get sawn at some point - unless those are really flexible legs.

The table can be functional. While there is the big dip in the middle and the holes, a person could put a piece of plate glass on the top to solve the issue. You can still see the design of the table through the glass and have the functionality of a normal table.
