Simplicity can be a strength. This small square table is made of two pale wood-effect boards connected by four white tubular supports, forming an open cube that suits almost any corner of a home. It measures 40cm wide, 39.5cm deep and 41.5cm high, so it sits beside beds and sofa ends with almost no fuss.

A Small Side Table with an Open Two-Tier Frame

With no doors, drawers or sides to block the view, the frame keeps everything visible. The upper board holds a light, some greenery or a drink, and the lower board acts as a ready-made shelf for books, a basket or the television remote. White supports contrast softly with the pale board colour for a clean, modern look.

Square Side Table Dimensions: 40 x 39.5 x 41.5cm

Because it is only 41.5cm high, this works as a low side table beside sofas, futons and low beds. At roughly 4kg per the supplier, you can lift it between rooms with one hand.

Wood-Effect Boards and White Tubing

The specification describes the table as wood effect, and the photographs show boards with a light grain and a thin edge banding. The manufacturer states a maximum load of 25kg. It is a self-assembly item, which one person can handle according to the listing.

Where a Small Table Like This Works Best

• Bedroom: a plain, practical nightstand holding a clock and a drink.
• Hallway: somewhere to drop keys and envelopes, plus a basket underneath.
• Living room: a handy place for a drink, with magazines below.
• Student room or flat: a budget-friendly extra surface that can move with you.

Cleaning the Light Wood-Effect Finish

Go over the boards and white tubes with a barely wet cloth, then dry them thoroughly. Choose mild cleaners only, and avoid standing hot mugs directly on the surface.
