Light Oak S-Shaped Bedside Table with Glass Top

The top is a square tray: a raised wooden rim holds a clear ribbed glass panel, so a lamp, a phone and a glass of water sit on a surface that wipes clean.

The rim stops rings, earplugs and pens from rolling off, and the ribbed glass blurs reflections from the lamp so the top never looks harsh. A coaster is still wise for hot mugs.

The light oak-tone frame steps down in an S shape, so the table looks as good from the side as from the front and never shows a plain back panel.

That makes it as useful beside an armchair or at the end of a sofa as next to the bed, and it brings warmth to cream and linen rooms. Two make a striking pair either side of a double bed.
