Know before you buy
The cantilevered shelf is designed for decorative items and light storage, such as books or small accessories. While it is structurally sound for standard side table use, we recommend avoiding placing heavy objects exceeding 10-15 pounds on the floating section to maintain its balance and integrity.
To preserve the leather, keep the table away from direct sunlight and heat sources, which can cause the material to dry or crack. Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or polishes on the inlaid sections.
Not at all. Despite its unique, floating aesthetic, the May Side Table is engineered with a sturdy Beech frame and splayed feet that provide a stable base. It is designed to be fully functional as a reliable surface for your living room or bedside.
Yes, the Caramel finish is a signature tone within the Alexa Hampton Collection. While natural variations in the Beech wood grain may occur, the finish is designed to coordinate seamlessly with other pieces sharing this specific collection palette.
The table measures 30 inches wide by approximately 24 inches deep. Given its asymmetrical shape and splayed feet, ensure you have a clear floor space of at least 32 by 26 inches to comfortably accommodate the footprint and allow for easy movement around the piece.
