Can you ever have too many side tables? The answer is yes, of course, you can, but if you find that you’re often searching for an appropriate surface to set down a cold glass of water or a hot cup of tea, chances are that you need another one. The Cage Table by FUWL (Form Us With Love) is both storage unit and table. In addition to the table’s obvious useful surface, you might just find yourself storing magazines or a favorite throw underneath.

Not many of us have room for an eight-foot-long dining table, but it sure is nice to see it exists in such a pared-down/minimalist style. And, if customizing the length isn’t enough for you, there’s quite a few material options: powder-coated or chromed steel legs, with a “straightforward” linoleum, laminate, or “swank” marble top.

This architectural little side table began as simple stock parts. MSDS Studio used conventional materials to create an unconventional leg arrangement, thus adding interest and symmetry in an unexpected way. Treat it as a functional side table and also as a “small, strict piece of sculpture.”

Take a look at the three skewed, off-kilter legs of this table. They’re just a bit off-center, which gives a playful feel to the heavy, solid form. The Stool + Side Table is just the right size to fit in alongside a sofa or as seating for a small desk.

Take a look at the legs of this table; see how they are on the sides rather than the corners? This cantilevered effect appears to give you a little more available surface area, or at least a more interesting appearance. There’s a matching Coffee Table too, but it deserves its own post next week.

How about a stack of side tables for your favorite room? These Triangle Stacking Tables are small enough (16″ x 14″ x 15″) that they can sit quietly together beside a sofa or chair. When you have friends and family over, simply unstack them for three handy spots to hold drinks and plates. Choose between Birch, Slate, or Marble tops. And, if you’re allergic to triangles, there’s the Rectangle Nesting Tables as well.

This handmade stool is made from suar wood, which, if you’re not familiar, is a fast growing (and non-endangered) tropical hardwood. It has an interlocking grain that reduces the likelihood of cracking with temperature changes, and that’s very good news for those of us that hope our furniture lasts longer than our pithy life spans. And did you see the price? Very, very affordable which is oh-so-nice to see. Use it as a low table in the living room or take it outside, as it can go back and forth to suit your place-to-put-my-drink needs.

If you’re not afraid of color, you may want to add the Palladio Table collection to your list. Thanks to a sturdy leg joint, many sizes and proportions are possible. There’s 20 color options for the top and 18 color options for the legs- that’s enough to make my head spin with crazy color pairings.

This little table does double duty; the integrated handle lets you move it easily from room to room while the wood or marble top lifts off the recycled steel base for use as a tray. Handy, right? There’s both a high and low height, so you can pair them together for a varied arrangement when it suits. Choose between oak, walnut, or Carrara marble for the top.

Another petite desk option? You betcha. This one arrives flat-packed (that makes it affordable) and has a moveable drawer to suit right or left hand users. An integrated wire grommet helps control cord clutter and its smaller footprint can fit snugly into a corner of the room, making the most of every inch.

If you need an elegant, small desk that will fold away, then the FJU is for you. An invisible mechanism allows it to fold and lock vertically against the wall, with its underside serving as a small storage area for your laptop/tablet and your books, notepads and magazines. It’s a tidy, efficient workspace that will hopefully fit into the smallest of spots.

Nice! This All Wood Stool is made entirely from (you guessed it) wood. A wooden screw-in mechanism allows you to adjust the height from 14 to 19 inches. That’s very handy for getting just the right height for your drink/laptop/etc. Choose between the straight bobbin base or the angled rocket base; either is available in solid ash or walnut.

If you’re a minimalist, you may need help picking your jaw up off the floor, then a tissue to wipe your tears. The Supermetal Table by Chiara Ferrari is impressive- it features a very thin single-sheet top with squared-off metal legs (placed flush to the tabletop, of course). It’s just what any super-minimalist wants, except for the tiny little part of it only being available for delivery in Southern California.

We’ve featured the Octahedron Side Table and the Double Octahedron Ring Planter from Eric Trine, so do you think we’d pass on the Octahedron Coffee Table? No way, no how. Measuring 36″ in diameter and 14″ tall, it’s a great size for a sitting area. Just add a lounge chair or two and a small sofa and you’re set. As a bonus, the table is powder coated, so it could easily live outdoors as well. It’s also significantly less expensive than it was last year.

If you need an occasional table that knocks down for storage, take a look at the Etage Collection. Choose your table legs (12″ or 15″), then choose your tabletop. Also, at first glance, it may appear that you could use the legs with any surface, which you could, but it’s worth noting that the round bracket of the leg is inlaid with the accompanying top. A nice detail in an affordable occasional table, don’t you think?
