Rich walnut-effect colour, a ridged drum body and four tapered legs give this little round table a distinctly retro air. The top lifts off like a serving tray, revealing a hidden space below. It is 39cm across and 46cm high, small enough for a bedside or a sofa end, yet interesting enough to be the centre of attention.

A Walnut Side Table with a Lift-Off Tray Top

The shallow-rimmed top is designed to be lifted off and used as a tray, ideal for carrying drinks or breakfast. Put it back and it becomes a flat surface again for a reading light or a cup. Beneath it, the drum has a dark hollow interior in the photographs, which can swallow remote controls, magazines or chargers.

Round Walnut Side Table Dimensions: 39cm x 46cm

A 39cm width leaves space for a sofa arm or a pillow beside it, and 46cm in height keeps a drink within an easy reach of the seat. Measure the gap at home before ordering.

Wood and MDF with a Walnut-Effect Finish

The product details name solid wood plus MDF as the materials, finished in a walnut look. The vertical grooves around the drum are a design feature that adds texture. You will need to put it together yourself; the listing says a single person can do it. The manufacturer's weight rating is high, but we would still recommend placing only everyday objects on it.

Mid Century Side Table Ideas

• By the sofa: use the tray top to carry snacks across, then set it back down.
• Bedside: charging cables and a book out of sight in the hidden space.
• Reading chair: a warm wood tone that suits earthy, retro or Nordic rooms.
• Guest room: a handy tray for morning tea.

Caring for a Walnut-Effect Surface

Wipe up spills at once and dry the surface with a soft towel. A lightly damp cloth is fine for everyday marks. Keep the tray top clear of very hot dishes, and lift it with both hands so the rim stays intact.
