The story

For the end of the sofa, where the lamp, the cup and the remote wait.

A side table keeps the small things of an evening within reach: a lamp to read by, a cup of tea, the remote and a pair of glasses. The Boissière gives them a broad acacia top just below the sofa arm, and one drawer for the things you would rather not see.

Its top is solid acacia built from short staves in a warm honey-brown finish, with softly rounded corners and a slim black pull along the drawer. Two shaped side frames hold the case and curve down into four splayed legs, so the floor stays open underneath.

The design

Three details that make the Boissière side table.

The Boissière side table is a small box of warm wood on a light, open base. Three details give it its shape.

Acacia Staves, One Black Pull

Acacia Staves, One Black Pull

The solid acacia top is built from short staves in a warm brown finish, honey-amber and darker pieces side by side with small knots. A slim matte black edge pull runs along the top of the drawer.

One Drawer, Splayed Side Frames

One Drawer, Splayed Side Frames

One drawer fills the front under the top and runs on metal slides. The case rests between two shaped side frames whose chamfered top rails curve down into four splayed, tapered legs.

Will it fit?

Width 21.2″ 54 cm
Depth 19.6″ 50 cm
Height 19.6″ 50 cm

Planning tip. A side table looks right when its top sits level with or a little below the arm beside it. At 19.6" (50 cm) high, the Boissière suits sofas and chairs with arms about 20–24" (51–61 cm) high. It is 21.2" (54 cm) wide and 19.6" (50 cm) deep, so allow about 23" (58 cm) of floor beside the arm, and a little room in front to open the drawer.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

What is it made of?

The top and legs are solid acacia in a brown finish, and the bottom and sides are MDF with acacia veneer. The pull is matte black metal, and the plywood back is unfinished, so it is meant to stand with its back toward a wall.

How much weight does it hold?

It is rated for up to 22 lb (10 kg), enough for a table lamp, a cup and a few books. Its one drawer runs on metal slides.

Can I use it as a nightstand?

Yes, beside a low bed. Its top is 19.6" (50 cm) from the floor, so it suits a mattress top of about 17–23" (43–58 cm).

How big and how heavy is it?

It is 21.2" (54 cm) wide, 19.6" (50 cm) deep and 19.6" (50 cm) high, and weighs 29 lb (13.2 kg). It arrives in one box and needs assembly.
