Woven texture is the quickest way to soften a room, and this drum-shaped rattan table delivers plenty of it. Hand-woven strands flare gently outwards below a flat circular top, forming an airy, basket-like base that glows in the light. It stands 46cm high with a 44cm diameter, which is a friendly scale for a lounge, a bedroom corner or a bright conservatory.

A Rattan Side Table with a Round Oak-Veneer Top

Below the smooth top, the weave opens in horizontal bands, so shadows and sunlight create a pattern on the floor around it. The top is described as oak veneer, giving a flat, practical surface for a lamp, a vase or a mug. Coasters are a good idea, since natural materials show heat marks.

Round Rattan Table Size: 44 x 44 x 46cm

At 46cm high, the table is low enough that a drink on top stays easy to reach from a seated position. Two people are recommended to carry it into place.

Natural Rattan, as Described by the Manufacturer

The product information lists the table as made from rattan, hand-woven in India, with an oak-veneer top. Because it is a handmade natural material, weave patterns and tones vary slightly from piece to piece, and that individuality is the appeal. The listing does not give a weight limit, so we suggest keeping to light items.

Boho Side Table Ideas for Your Home

• Living room: pair it with a linen sofa and a ceramic vase.
• Bedroom: a relaxed round bedside table that suits cane or wooden beds.
• Conservatory: a natural partner for plants and wicker chairs.
• Dining nook: an occasional stand for a jug or fruit bowl.

Caring for Woven Rattan

Lift dust using a soft brush, or a vacuum with a brush attachment. Treat marks with a lightly moist microfibre and let the weave air-dry. Keep rattan away from long spells of direct sun, damp rooms and radiators so the strands stay supple.
