An American classic side table with an octagonal top, highlighted by a book‑matched natural veneer that forms a subtle starburst. The warm chestnut finish and beveled edge give the surface depth, while a sculpted pedestal flows into a stepped base with scroll feet for a grounded, elegant silhouette. The frame is made from solid wood for strength. The top combines natural veneer over a stable plywood core to minimize movement and keep the geometry crisp. Sized for the living room, it serves as a refined perch for a lamp, a book, or a drink beside a sofa or armchair. Its balanced proportions and timeless detailing let it blend with leather or fabric seating, bringing a composed, heritage note to the space.
