How far can an 10 ounce cup of coffee be displaced is dropped for a table 24 inches high. Wellllllll, The area visible in the photo and there was not a place that was not hit including the top of the chair and the whole area of the ceiling. Carpet, chair, picture mat, (Behind glass!!!), wall, ceiling, books, other furniture, lamp and shade, Even madonna and child, all got splattered with coffee with creamer. Amazing. This is one experiment I don't want to repeat.
