Traditional Side Tables

Thoughtfully proportioned and built by hand, our traditional side tables bring quiet confidence to any room. From elegant oval designs to compact nests that tuck away neatly, each piece is crafted from solid oak with hand-applied finishes that highlight the timber's natural grain. Whether placed beside your favourite armchair or nestled in a corner, these tables offer a useful spot for lamps, books and cups of tea.

A traditional side table settles in beautifully beside sofas and armchairs, offering a handy surface that's always within reach. The Elkstone collection showcases solid oak construction with hand-turned feet and mortise and tenon joinery, designed to stand the test of time. Choose from Mellow Oak with its warm, characterful grain, or Smoked Oak for added depth and richness.

For smaller spaces, our Oakland nest of tables provides three surfaces that slot together when not needed – ideal for hosting friends or spreading out the Sunday papers. The Chester range pairs quality oak tops with painted bases in Dove Grey, Charcoal or Pure White, bringing a country-inspired feel that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Each table features thoughtful details: slatted shelves for extra storage, hand-waxed finishes to protect against daily wear, and antique-style metalware that adds character. Delivered fully assembled and ready to use, these pieces are made to weather the years while keeping everything you need close by.
