City Slicker Side Table from CB2

As Abby mentioned yesterday, our mantra for small spaces is "double duty, double duty, double duty!". That's why we love any kind of ottoman that can double as a table, or chair that can turn into kitchen sink, etc. So when that double duty item is stylish too, we swoon:

The City Slicker Side Table from CB2 is sleek and modern (we love it in glossy white but it also comes in a great red that they call paprika) and can be used as a side table, clustered together to make a larger coffee table, moved around for extra seating or moved to the bedroom as a nightstand turned stool. Not that we've ever had a bathroom big enough, but we do have dreams of using it to place fresh towels or a vase of flowers on for a spa-like feel in our favorite room.

I've really been liking cb2's line of products overall lately.

I agree with krazeenyc...I would probably buy one if it could be used for storage.

If it came with a hidden drawer on 1 side that would be awesome.

How is it double duty? It's an MDF box. A hinged lid or shelves would make it double duty. You need to buy multiples to make it into anything else--and an MDF cube that's $179 isn't exactly my idea of a bargain.

You could buy an MDF box at any big box store, get it painted with auto paints (or DIY) for far less money.

I'm-a not swoon for the plain white cube. It's a table you can use as a table, or buy more for a bigger table. If you run out of chairs, we let you sit on our table. If you don't have a table in the bedroom, you can even use it as a table in the bedroom. Even if it had storage, I don't like it. It would have to do a bunch of cool things before I'd consider it.
