Chesterton Side Table - Natural

Our Ethical Tag System

The Chesterton Side Table is crafted from a sturdy frame of solid Bayur wood, paired with a real Mindi wood veneer and a raised wicker rattan top detail. Sourced responsibly from certified Indonesian plantations, these fast-growing, highly renewable natural materials offer exceptional resource efficiency and dimensional stability without sacrificing strength.

While solid wood excels at resisting dents, Mindi veneer offers superior structural durability by eliminating the risk of warping, splitting, and cracking caused by household heating.
Slicing the wood thin and bonding it to a rigid core permanently locks the grain in place, ensuring tabletops and doors stay perfectly flat for decades. This clever design delivers the authentic look and feel of real wood grain with a highly stable structure built to last.
