So if you need some surface space on a small budget, I’d recommend taking a look at these tables. I think they’ve got a lot of punch for the price (quite fond of the stylized shaping of the legs with the laminated top).

“Context Furniture’s William & Mary tables add a different kind of contrast, with their ultrasmooth laminate surfaces and aluminum legs. The silhouettes (again, especially in the legs, but also in the shaping of the tabletop edges) still draw on historical designs, but the overall result is distinctly modern.”

Some color options: black knight, invasion red, monarch white, royal blue

Materials: Anodized aluminum legs with 3/4 inch laminated, multi-ply top.

I’m thinking this would make a nice little desk, although it’s perfectly suited as a dining table too.

“avi tables designed by arne vehovar for magis. available in 2 sizes and 3 tabletop finishes, the avi is versatile enough for home or office. frames are steel tubing and the tops are mdf with a polymeric cover in beige, white or metallized grey. $100 shipping within the continental US.”

large table – 78.75″ x 35.5″ x 28.75″h
small table – 59″ x 31.5″ x 28.75″h

This is a really reasonable price for a dining table.

“Space odysseys. A high styling, hardworking table for all your spaces: dining, kitchen, living, office. White lacquered wood composite disc beveled at the edge floats on a white powdercoat metal pedestal that seems to emerge from the floor. CD of “Also Sprach Zarathustra” not included.”

•Top: engineered wood with smooth white lacquer finish
•Base: metal with white powder-coat finish
•Beveled rim
•Dust with a soft, dry cloth; use damp cloth when necessary
•Do not use furniture polish

The attention to detail here on the legs sets this table apart from the mass of wobbly tables out there…
“Genuine innovation is rare. And perhaps no one has achieved it as often as Charles and Ray Eames. Their inventive design for this dining table makes functionality beautiful with an uncluttered profile well suited to both traditional and contemporary interiors. To give the table maximum strength and stability, Charles and Ray created a design that securely affixes the base to the 1-inch-thick tabletop; adjustable glides keep things on a even keel.”

I like the mitered corners on this desk/work table.
Wood construction. Simple assembly.
Available in chocolate, blonde or white.
48″ x 24″ x 30″h.

How cool would it be to have a little leaning desk with a wall-mounted monitor? Or it would be great for a laptop too.

“A new slant on home office chic. The perfect laptop and writing desk, with easygoing style. Open desk is an ingenious use of space, with a generous workspace. Unit leans against the wall for maximum stability. ”

This little table is pretty neat. It’s a ready-to-assemble type of thing. It arrives flat and you bend it into its shape. There’s a coffee and console table too. And! If you like robin’s egg blue, you’ve got that option for the base as well.

This little table has a lot bite for its bark. What does that mean? I don’t know really, but what I’m trying to say is that for the price, it’s a nice little table.

So, okay, there’s not a price posted for this yet, so it technically is not available for immediate purchase, yet I’m way too impressed with it to put off posting until there is a dollar-sign-amount assigned. This table-in-a-box is really so incredibly clever and really is the perfect solution to those small spaces that we all invariably run into at some points in our lives. The pictures pretty much explain the process…

This table is so cool. Made of molded bent wood, it has no visible joints- that coupled with the sleek loop design and lovely finish, it’s sure to amaze even the most exacting furniture snobs (and if it doesn’t, who cares about them anyways).

I love this desk. It hides all the junk that an office space has without being an eyesore. It looks good enough to put anywhere really…and it’s got the necessary details to make you happy. I promise.

“On the left, a narrow two-shelf cupboard with door is a convenient hideaway for books and papers. The larger cupboard on the right serves as a self-enclosing workstation with a pull-down writing surface. Using a simple motion, one can draw open the hinged front panel to expose an interior storage and workspace, replete with a cable management compartment, a telephone jack, an electrical outlet, an overhead fluorescent light, a built-in pencil holder and a long drawer to stash desk accessories. In extension, the 30.75″ secretary-style writing surface is supported by sturdy hinges to ensure strength and smooth, balanced closure. ”

Look at this- an environmentally friendly coffee table that looks like it shouldn’t be (and, by that, I just mean that it’s suprising that it is)…I really like the stark contrast between the matte white and natural fibers. Well done!

“A graphic coffee table featuring Kirei board, an environmentally friendly material made from the reclaimed stalks of the sorghum plant. Normally an agricultural waste product, the discarded stalks are bonded into a sheet glued with formaldehyde-free adhesives. The result is a beautiful textured material that looks like plant cells. We’ve clad the Kirei in matte white acrylic with areas cut away to form a strong graphic motif.”

Material: Kirei & Acrylic.
