We love this side table, and could see it individually or as a set in any room. Other ideas: this would be great for everyday use as an entry catch-all. Something about the curved edge of the tray wouldn't make us anxious about keeping it tidy all the time; just toss our keys, phone, etc. and that's it. These could also be really cute plant stands...

Available from Stockholm Objects in two sizes: Low table 15.75" - $150 or the High table 21" - $155. The table comes in black, red, and white (our favorite). Good prices, considering we see the same tables listed at UK's Abode Living for £142 for the low table.
