Nesting tables just make sense. They are pretty and practical. What's not to love about extra surface area in the living room when entertaining. Even better is that you can just tuck the tables away into a tidy little stack when the guests are gone. We've written about them before but have you seen these nesting tables?

I have them and they've held up well in 4 years, there are some scratches since I put flower pots on them w/out felt feet. They look great and don't seem as cluttered since they're clear.
Ignore the first part since I read the post too fast!
I like nesting tables when they're nested but if they were all strewn about the room (as would be practical) my OCD would go crazy.
I am sure I saw the last one (by Nathan) in a store (Pazo) here in my neighbourhood the other day. It looked great!
I was a sales associate for a huge furniture store for several years. Every six months management would ask us, "What are people asking for that we don't have." Every one of us would put "nesting tables" on our list. They never got any. I'm sure you're shocked the store went out of business.
