The formatting is a bit confusing, but it does appear that the table is disabled: 'ENABLED' is just the name of the attribute. Below, it says 'false', right under that heading.
DESCRIPTION *ENABLED* 'TestTable', {NAME => 'info', DATA_BLOCK_ENCODING => 'NONE', BLOOMF *false* ILTER => 'ROW', REPLICATION_SCOPE => '0', VERSIONS => '1', COMPRESS ION => 'SNAPPY', MIN_VERSIONS => '0', TTL => '2147483647', KEEP_DEL ETED_CELLS => 'false', BLOCKSIZE => '65536', IN_MEMORY => 'false', BLOCKCACHE => 'true'} 1 row(s) in 1.4220 seconds This might be a usability concern though, and maybe it's worth exploring a clearer formatting.
