I love my small, lightweight and movable accent table that I use for my computer (like now!) – also great to put your coffee or cocktail in perfect reaching distance!

Personally, I am very particular when it comes to purchasing furniture for myself -partially due to my quest to only invest in versatile pieces. Which, probably has something to do with living in 6 different places in the past 6 years (but that is another story, for another time!).

1.) Kalalou Nesting Table from Nordstrom –  Iron and slatted wood – This mix of textures and a set of 3 makes this trio the top on my list!

2.) VITTSJÖ IKEA tables – A steal for the price and I must say, the quality is well worth every penny. They come in white or black but if you are up for a DIY, check out Classy Clutter’s IKEA hack that just involves some spray paint and patience – gorgeous!

Nesting tables are trending now, but the idea has been around since the 18th century! Originally designed by furniture maker, Thomas Sheraton, and called “quartetto tables”.

Now, these tables are usually seen in sets of 2 and 3 but they were originally designed as a set of 4 and pulled out for entertaining.
