Slim E-Shaped Side Table with Shelf – Handmade Solid Wood

A compact open side table with two useful levels for narrow living spaces.

The E-shaped frame creates two practical surfaces in one slim piece of furniture. Use the top for a drink or lamp and the centre shelf for a book, remote or small basket, while keeping the footprint narrow.

This product is handmade from real solid pine, not MDF, chipboard or a printed wood-effect panel. Natural grain, knots and small tone variations remain visible, so each finished piece is individual. It is made to order rather than pulled from mass-produced warehouse stock, allowing the selected dimensions and finish to be prepared for the order.

Solid Pine Wood

This product is handmade from real solid pine, not MDF, chipboard or a printed wood-effect panel. Natural grain, knots and small tone variations remain visible, so each finished piece is individual.

Choose Natural (unwaxed), Oak, Dark Oak, Mahogany, Walnut, Jacobean, Slate Grey or Silver Grey.

Waxed finishes add colour and everyday surface protection; wipe spills promptly. Due to the natural characteristics of wood, tones may vary slightly from piece to piece.
