Perfect for an entryway or any small space, don’t you think? The two-legged design allows for space to be utilized to its full potential- since it mounts to the wall you avoid baseboards getting in the way (that little inch can actually be a lot when space is tight). The table includes all mounting hardware for both dry wall or stud mounting and of course a little assembly is required.

Made in Spain.

Solid maple wood with natural or wenge stain; extruded aluminum mounting bracket.

Made out of solid mango wood, this little stool could be considered a steal for the price. Yesterday I saw something really very quite similar for about four times as much. It had a little bit more character to it, and a slightly different shape, but I’m guessing if you’re pinching pennies certain sacrifices are necessary.

So has anybody bought any of this yet? I’m really quite curious to know how it looks. Is it of decent quality? For those of you that haven’t seen or heard about Target’s new take on furniture (or rather, it’s forray into the affordable modernish crowd of furniture), this is a sample of some of the “Vintage Modern” collection. It looks pretty promising, but who knows.

I first saw this side table on another site for a bit more (enough that I thought some of you might consider it not such a great table after all), but when looking through retromodern’s cache of tables, I happily saw it’s available for a little less.

This table is actually a sheet of solid aluminum with a real wood veneer, so it has that nice touch of metal peeking through on the edges. Wallmounted (such a nice option) or resting on the floor, it’s got some nice sleek curves that anybody would admire. Delivery will be a slight wait (10 weeks, sorry) but I think it’d be worth it. Available in oak or American walnut.

12h x 16w x 13.75″d.

Note: no longer available from original retailer.

This table is affordable as well as versatile. The size lends itself to function as a side table and/or magazine holder, a bedside table, and, as Unica suggests, if necessary, even a bedtray. Available in transparent (crystal) or colored polycarbonate (smoked, red, orange, olive green, light blue, and black).

Adjustable height desk sold by Vitra. A little pricey, but no doubt it’s well constructed and it would long outlast an Ikea reproduction.

Nice little bentwood desk at a reasonable price.

“The perfect desk for intimate spaces. A simple gesture inspired by nature is the essence of the Wave Desk. A single plane of molded plywood folds over to form a new kind of working surface: kinetic, multi-faceted, yet simple and intimate. Designed with the laptop user in mind, with an elevated surface for your mobile phone and other desktop items. The Wave Desk was designed to surf the daily tide.”

Now here are some tables that qualify as affordable, modern, and simple. An interesting tidbit from MoMA’s site:

“The name “MUJI” is derived from the Japanese phrase “Mujirushi Ryohin,” meaning “No Brand Goods.” Over the last 20 years, they have developed a worldwide following with a guiding philosophy that emphasizes innovative and simple materials, processes, and packaging.”

Made of scratch-resistant, powder-finished steel.

These tables are just the thing to add some ambiance to your home (maybe the bedroom, eh?). You can adjust the amount of light by touching the powdered steel table anywhere. So easy!

Available in black or white with white lights (multi-colored lights are available through Stereoluz’s site).

Okay, what you see here (from left to right) is the Sande Wave Table, the Sande Side Table, and the Sande Mag Bench. Designed and manufactured by David Brunicardi, each piece is made of repeat laminated, eco-friendly plywood from Ecuador. They’re all quite nice- also keep in mind they are hand made, so that’s why there are some zeros on the price tag.

Sande Wave Table $2,200.00

Sande Mag Bench $1750.00

Sande Side Table $700.00

Sande Cubes (set of three) $330.00

Extra long and nicely narrow, this console has discreet wheels on the legs for mobility. It’s even wide enough to place over a full or queen size bed so you can set your laptop, book, or breakfast (or whatever else) on it and still remain safely snug.

The tray lifts off and the base is made of polished Nickel. I’m trying to think of why one would need a lift off tray table. Since the top is 36″ x 36″, I think that’s too big to serve any purpose other than cleaning out the tray. Well, it’s a nice table, anyway.

Made of powder coated sheet steel, this table defies normal expectations of structural stability in your bed or sofa’s side table. Conventions need not apply to your home, right?
