2-Piece Marble and Aluminium Top Nesting Side Table Set - Pleated Leather-Look Fabric Bases

The pleated leather-look fabric bases are what make this set unusual. Almost every table base is metal, wood or stone — hard and reflective; a pleated fabric drum is soft, absorbs light and reads as upholstery, which is why designers use it to stop a room of glossy surfaces feeling cold. It also does something practical: a broad drum base gives real stability with no legs at shin height and nothing to catch a rug. Above it, the pair is deliberately mismatched in the good sense — a larger white marble-look top with a gold centre inlay and a smaller brushed aluminium or brass top — so the two read as a composed pair rather than duplicates. In brown or cream, and supplied assembled or boxed flat.

Specifications

Buying guide

Fabric bases are the reason to buy this and the thing to think honestly about. They soften a room full of hard surfaces and give a stable, leg-free base, but fabric at floor level is where mops, shoes, pets and toddlers arrive — so cream is the wrong choice in a busy family room, while brown hides marks and is the safer everyday pick. Whichever you choose, treat the base as upholstery: vacuum the pleats with a brush attachment, blot spills immediately rather than rubbing, and consider a fabric protector from new. Keep it out of standing water and off wet floors after mopping. On the tops, use coasters and never set a hot pan on the marble-look surface, and wipe the gold inlay and brushed metal with a soft cloth only, since abrasives dull both finishes. The boxed option costs less and fits through narrow doorways.

How it compares

Against metal or wooden bases, pleated fabric softens a room of hard surfaces and gives a stable leg-free base — but it needs treating as upholstery. Compared with the gold stainless steel set, that is bright and reflective where this is soft and textural. Against the marble-top sets with tapered legs, this has nothing at shin height. Against a matching pair, mixing a marble top with a metal top reads as composed rather than duplicated.

Frequently asked questions

Brown or cream?
Brown hides marks and is the safer everyday choice, since a fabric base sits exactly where mops, shoes and pets arrive. Cream suits a quieter, more formal room.

How do I clean a fabric base?
Treat it as upholstery — vacuum the pleats with a brush attachment, blot spills immediately rather than rubbing, and keep it off wet floors after mopping.

Why are the two tops different?
A marble-look top with gold inlay paired with a smaller brushed metal top reads as a composed pair rather than two of the same table.
