Solid Mango Wood Side Table

Solid mango wood side tables are celebrated for their durability and aesthetic charm, sourced from the mango tree—a sustainable and fast-growing resource, making them eco-friendly. 

The manufacturing process of our mango wood tables begins with harvesting mature mango trees at the end of their fruit-bearing life cycle. The wood is then kiln-dried to attain the ideal moisture content, ensuring stability and preventing warping or cracking. Next, our skilled artisans craft the wood into table components, emphasising its natural grain patterns and warm hues.

Solid mango wood naturally boasts a beautiful golden brown colour with unique grain patterns. To enhance its appearance, we apply natural oil finishes which penetrate the wood, accentuating its natural grain and colour while providing a subtle sheen and some moisture protection. Finally, to safeguard against stains, minor scratches & moisture, a clear lacquer is applied, resulting in a side table that not only retains the distinctive organic grain patterns & rich tones but also boasts enhanced resilience & durability.

Key Benefits

• Exceptional Hardness & Janka Rating: Mango wood boasts a Janka hardness rating of around 1100 lbf, placing it on par with hardwoods like oak and hickory. This translates to superior resistance to scratches, dents & impacts, ensuring your table withstands everyday wear and tear with ease.
• High Density & Dimensional Stability: Mango wood possesses a high density, making it less prone to warping, cracking or splitting compared to softer woods. This translates to a stable & durable table that retains its shape even under fluctuating humidity & temperature conditions.
• Inherent Moisture Resistance: The inherent oils present in mango wood offer natural resistance to moisture absorption. This makes the wood less susceptible to water damage and warping, especially compared to more porous options.
• Natural Variations: Mango wood boasts a rich golden brown colour with beautiful organic variations in grain patterns & knots, ensuring that each piece of mango wood furniture is unique, contributing to the creation of a personalised & welcoming atmosphere in your living area.
• Eco-Friendly Choice: Harvested at the end of its fruit-bearing cycle, this practice minimises waste, making it an environmentally conscious and responsible choice for those who prioritise eco-friendly materials in their furniture.
• Hidden Storage Solutions: Two drawers in this side table offer versatile storage solutions, allowing you to keep everyday items organised and out of sight, maintaining a clean aesthetic and contributing to a more relaxed living environment.

Gold Chrome Plated Metal Legs

Creating our metal table bases with a stunning gold chrome finish is a multi-step process. It begins with cutting and shaping the metal to the desired design, followed by precision welding for stability. After this, we carefully grind the surfaces to smooth perfection. 

Next comes the electroplating process. A thin layer of copper, followed by a layer of bright nickel which offers a higher reflectivity, are electroplated, laying the foundation for the gold colour. The final step involves electroplating the base with gold alloy for a luxurious touch. The newly gold-plated base is polished to a brilliant shine, highlighting the reflective properties of the chromium layer and accentuating its aesthetic appeal.

Care guide

• Dust Regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth to regularly dust the surface of your mango wood furniture, preventing the buildup of dirt and debris.
• Spills and Stains: Address spills and stains promptly. Blot up any liquids with a clean, absorbent cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the wood's finish.
• Cleaning Solution: For occasional deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution (like a few drops of dish soap in warm water). Apply the solution to a damp cloth, wring it out well to avoid excess moisture, and wipe down the table surface. Dry thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth.
• Protect from Heat and Moisture: While your mango wood side table boasts a clear protective lacquer, it's still wise to use coasters for glasses and hot mugs to minimise the risk of heat damage and water rings. This simple practice helps preserve the table's pristine surface for years to come.

Sizing Guide

• Measure Your Seating: Begin by measuring the height of the armrests on your sofa or chair where the side table will be placed. This helps determine the ideal height of your side table for easy access. Aim for the tabletop to be within 2.5-5 cm of the armrest height.
• Clearance: To ensure a sense of openness and avoid a cramped ambiance, aim to leave 30-45cm of clearance between the side table & other furniture (when placed next to a sofa/armchair) to allow for comfortable movement and prevent the space from feeling crowded. 
• Depth: The side table's depth should be shallower than the depth of your sofa or armchair to avoid protruding and creating an obstructed feeling. Aim for a depth difference of 7-15 cm.
• Shape: Round or oval side tables are ideal for tight spaces or if you want to soften the lines of your room as their curved edges create a more spacious feel compared to sharp corners. Square side tables offer more surface area and work well in larger spaces where you need additional tabletop space.
• Usage: While the most common placement for a side table is next to a sofa/armchair, you can also utilise empty corners to add visual interest and break up empty space, while offering additional surface area and functionality. It can also be placed near the entrance to hold keys or a small plant, or be used as a bedside table for lamps, books or phones.
