Is a wooden or metal side table better?

Solid wood feels warm, is sturdy and can be re-polished. Metal frames are slim and light but can rust in humid places if the coating chips.

Do metal side tables rust?

Iron and steel can rust if the paint or powder coating is scratched and moisture gets in, especially in humid weather.

What are your side tables made of?

All our side tables list solid Indian teak wood (sagwan) with PU polish.

Which is easier to keep clean?

Both wipe clean. A polished wooden top hides small marks; dust shows on dark metal.

Which suits an Indian living room?

Solid wood matches wooden sofas, beds and TV units that most Indian homes already have.
