Felicity's Tilt-Top Table & Chairs is pictured on the cover of the book, Happy Birthday, Felicity! It was introduced near the Felicity's debut and retired at her archival in 2010.
PC description: In Felicity's time, colonial homes boasted a table that was proudly set for afternoon tea when company called. Felicity's wooden tea table is a reproduction of a classic, down to its decorative piecrust edging and Queen Anne legs. The tabletop tilts down for storage. The matching side chairs are decorated with a seashell on the back and are richly upholstered in shiny blue moiré. (Single chairs are available.)
B+:
Felicity’s table and chairs are by far the most elegant of the table/chair sets. Some of the positive aspects of the set are that the table is large enough to seat 3 or 4 dolls comfortably and that it folds nicely for storage. I also love the cherry wood.
Although this set is nicely made, the pieces are less durable than some of the other table and chair sets. Every year MCM receives many sets, especially chairs that were broken in transit. The wood also shows scratches.
I am fortunate enough to own two sets of Felicity’s table and chairs. One is from 1992-93 and the other is from 2004. This is one of the few AG sets that have not decreased in quality over the years. The sets are virtually identical, wood stain and all. If anything, the newer table is a little bit sturdier than the older table.

Overall, this is a nice set, though it is more pricy and fragile than some of the other table and chairs.
