What customers say
Customers rave about the Hinoki Wood Side Table's exceptional material quality and serene, minimalist design. The beautiful craftsmanship and smooth finish are frequently highlighted, perfectly embodying Japanese inspired aesthetics.

Know before you buy
Because the wood is left unfinished, it is susceptible to water rings and stains. We recommend using coasters for drinks and wiping away spills immediately to preserve the natural matte finish.
Yes, the table is crafted from solid hinoki cypress, making it sturdy enough to function as occasional seating. Its compact size and durable construction allow it to transition easily from a side table to a stool.
The natural, citrusy scent of hinoki wood is most potent when the piece is new or exposed to moisture. If the aroma fades, you can lightly mist the wood with water to reactivate the scent.
The table features a flat, stable base designed for standard indoor surfaces. While it is structurally sound, we recommend placing it on a level floor to ensure the best balance for the half-moon silhouette.
Hinoki cypress is naturally resistant to humidity and rot, which is why it has been used in traditional Japanese bathhouses for centuries. It is an excellent choice for a bathroom setting, though you should avoid direct, prolonged contact with standing water.
