Constructed of oak wood and veneer in natural or a wenge stain, the desk’s materials speak directly to comfort and practicality. The compact scale fits neatly in kitchens or spare rooms. Two smooth-gliding drawers, available with red or white lacquered fronts, provide storage for bills, letters, stationery and other writing materials. A built-in grommet in the back of the desk provides convenient cord management.

This affordable console/bookcase can shift roles easily as your needs change.

Versatile storage design shifts positions, shifts functions, shifts perspective from upright bookcase to horizontal media console. It shifts from positive to negative space too, with a finished, closed back square and open rectangle on each of three fixed shelves (which also means it can be used as a room divider). Align vertical multiples dramatically down the wall, or you can even stack two or three on their sides. Engineered wood is finished in a new rich teak melamine. Also in black melamine.

This is a great table- the inset legs are a design element that take the overall look up a…ahem, notch.

Rare saal wood is reclaimed from old Indian railroad cars, restored, and pieced in a natural plank mosaic dining surface of raw awe. Supported on industrial metal square tube legs, blackened with exposed welding marks. Legs are inset flush at the sides and notched in the top, becoming one with the patchwork. Wood is left unfinished in its natural state. Seats up to 8.

At first this might seem frightfully expensive for a small desk, but in rooms where space is at a premium something like this would be a necessity.

“Extremely practical where space is limited, the Nexus desk doubles in depth, thanks to a retractable shelf on wheels, set at the perfect height for a computer keyboard . Two drawers slide out from the shelf sides for pens and pencils.”

I’ve been looking for a small breakfast-y sized bistro table for my kitchen, and this one is a pretty good price. I think it’s a winner.

Simple but functionally sound, these Italian-made powder-coated steel tables are exceptional examples of everyday outdoor furniture. Available in three styles, their sturdy construction and multiuse design make them the choice for cafés throughout Europe and the U.S. They also work well in office dining areas. By undergoing three different finish processes – electric zinc coating, the application of a grey powder coat and then a clear lacquer – the table surfaces are made resilient and corrosion resistant. Assembly required.

Materials: Steel with three-layer finish.

Whoa, talk about an impressive table, this one by Autoban has a sculptured edge and a bright red (or chrome plated) architectural aluminum base that deserves some attention.

Apparently not from the local beach… With legs made from aluminum and an organic-shaped top, Pebble is the union of contrasting materials, supported by a structure of the soundest simplicity.
Available in your choice of solid American Black Walnut or American White Oak and red powder coated aluminum or chrome plated aluminum base.

Not a bad price for a bamboo console table. I like how the legs stick out ever so slightly at the top.

It’s hip to be square (or in this case, rectangular). A very considerate console, our L7 side table is a “green” grouping of quite right angles. Dual bamboo tops are supported by a stained wood frame, creating generous amounts of geometric appeal. Crafted with non-toxic environmentally-friendly glues and stains, and making use of fast-growing sustainable bamboo, the L7 side table is smart on many levels. Behind a sofa, dividing a room, as a sideboard or bookshelf – you’ll love this one square from square one! Imported. Spot clean.

I like this little side table; it’s got some interesting scrollwork and you can either go with a stable black color or the crazy pink.

“So boho. Around the world, around the room. Architectural Moroccan style handmade iron rod scrollwork fancies its way into mini boho table. Powdercoated kinky pink. Also in black.”

Two modern-ish items on sale…(I might say once more I firmly believe you get what you pay for, though I’m sure there are some of you that are more concerned with the price tag than materials).

Andrew Relax Chair, $189.00 $149.99, Buy it here.

Few chairs cut a slim, low-angled profile while having the kind of wide seat support that lets you settle in. Fewer still manage to be slender and inviting without hogging space. The European-style Andrew Relaxer does it all with a lineup of unbeatable qualities, from gently curving lines, rich chocolate
bi-cast leather to an elegant profile suitable for any room.
