X-Leg Bedside Table with Magazine Rack in Anthracite | Compact Side Table

A compact bedside table on crossed X-legs, with an open shelf below the top and a magazine slot built into the leg frame. At 43cm wide it fits the gap between bed and wall in rooms where a full cabinet simply will not go — and because it is open rather than enclosed, it does not visually crowd a small bedroom the way a solid box does.

The anthracite finish is a deep charcoal grey. It reads as a soft neutral against white or pale walls and disappears entirely against a dark scheme.

Dimensions

Why 56cm matters

A standard UK divan or bed frame with mattress sits somewhere between 55cm and 65cm from the floor. At 56cm this table lands at the lower end of that range, which is exactly where you want it — a bedside surface slightly below mattress height is comfortable to reach across, whereas one above it means lifting your arm every time you reach for a glass in the dark.

Measure from your floor to the top of your mattress, not the bed frame, before ordering.

Materials and construction

Built from E1-standard chipboard, a low-formaldehyde grade suitable for bedrooms and other enclosed indoor spaces. Every edge is finished with PVC edge banding — including the internal edges most manufacturers leave bare, since exposed board edges are where moisture gets in and where chips start.

Ships flat-packed with all fixing holes pre-drilled at the factory. Body panels, screws, fittings and instructions are in the box.

Not only for bedrooms

The proportions make this equally useful as a small side table beside a sofa or armchair, where the magazine slot earns its place more obviously than it does in a bedroom. It also works as a compact lamp table in a hallway, or beside a reading chair.
