Know before you buy
No, the table arrives fully assembled and ready for immediate use in your home.
The Saarinen Side Table is designed exclusively for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements may damage the finishes and materials.
Laminate tops are highly durable and resistant to scratches, making them ideal for high-traffic areas. Marble tops offer a natural, unique aesthetic but require more care to prevent staining and etching from acidic substances.
The weighted pedestal base is engineered for excellent stability on flat, level surfaces. If you have particularly uneven floors, we recommend using small felt pads under the base to ensure it remains perfectly level.
The marble options vary by their unique veining patterns and color palettes, ranging from the classic white-and-grey of Carrara to the deep, dramatic tones of Nero Marquina. Each piece is natural stone, meaning the specific patterns will be unique to your individual table.
