Adding a border shows up the table nesting too, especially if you use a
different colour for each level. The cell containing the Welcome graphic
is half the height of the table, leaving the cell containing the text
the other half.
Try something like
<table>
<tr>
<td>left side buttons</td>
<td>
<table>
<tr><td height=xx>Welcome</td>
<td>blah</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
