What is the difference between a side table and nesting tables?

A side table is one fixed table. Nesting tables are a set of two or three tables of different sizes that slide under each other.

Are nesting tables good for small flats?

They can be, because you pull out the extra tables only when guests come. Day to day, they take the space of one table.

A single side table is usually sturdier, because nesting tables need thinner legs to slide under each other.

Do you sell nesting tables?

Our range lists single side tables, 12 or 14 inches wide. Two small side tables can do a similar job.

What are your side tables made of?

Solid Indian teak wood (sagwan) with PU polish.
