Havenwood Red Chairside Table

For optimal comfort and visual balance, the surface of a side table should sit within two inches of your chair's armrest. This table stands 24 inches tall, which is the standard height for most armchairs and sofas. Its slim 14-inch width makes it an excellent choice for placing between two seats or in tight corners where a full-sized end table would be too large.

Yes, the primary difference is the footprint. While traditional end tables are typically larger and square, a chairside table is intentionally narrow—in this case, just 14 inches wide. It is designed to serve a single seat, providing just enough surface area for a lamp, a drink, and a book without occupying unnecessary floor space. This makes it a preferred choice for smaller living rooms or urban apartments.

This table is crafted using a combination of pine solids and veneers. We use pine solids for the structural components to ensure a sturdy, durable frame, while the veneers provide a beautiful, consistent grain pattern. This construction method offers the authentic look of natural wood with enhanced resistance to warping or cracking, which can sometimes occur in solid wood pieces due to changes in home humidity.

No, this chairside table arrives fully assembled. This ensures the drawer glides and structural joinery are factory-set for maximum stability and longevity, allowing you to incorporate it into your home immediately without the need for tools or complex instructions.

This table is designed with stability in mind. The use of solid pine in the frame provides a heavy, grounded feel, and the lower display shelf acts as a structural brace that adds weight to the bottom of the piece. Additionally, the rustic finish is highly practical for active households, as the natural textures and distressing of the wood are very forgiving and tend to hide minor scuffs or wear that may occur from pets or daily use.

To preserve the vibrant red finish and the natural character of the pine, we recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Based on our material expertise, it is important to wipe up any spills immediately with a damp cloth and dry the surface thoroughly. Using coasters for drinks and avoiding harsh chemical polishes will help protect the wood's integrity and keep the finish looking new.
