Sofa Side Table in Carved Teak - Champagne with Carved Wave Support

Take the legs away from under a table and you create a problem most people never think about: what carries the drawer.

In an ordinary table, a drawer runs on rails fixed to a frame, and that frame is held square by the four legs at its corners. Remove the legs and the frame has nothing at the front to hold it - so the drawer's runners, its guides and the rail it slides against all have to be carried from the sides of the case and from the single support beneath the middle.

That changes how the case is built. The two side panels become the structure, jointed into the top and into each other through the back, and the runners are housed into them rather than pinned to a corner post. The rail above the drawer front is jointed into both sides so it cannot bow when the drawer is pulled - because on a table like this, there is no leg at either end of it to help.

The single carved support then meets the case not at a point but along a wide seating, spreading the load across the underside rather than concentrating it under the middle of a drawer opening.

Done properly, the drawer runs as smoothly as one in a four-legged table. Done carelessly, it drops at the front the first time it is loaded - which is the usual reason pedestal tables are made without drawers at all.

Material: Solid teak throughout - case, drawer box, top, carved wave support and oval plinth. No veneer over engineered board.

Construction: Single carved acanthus wave support seated across a wide bearing under the case, drawer runners housed into the case sides, jointed drawer rail, carved leaf repeat beneath the top and around the plinth, turned bun feet.

Storage: One full-width drawer. Depth and internal fittings are configurable, and a second drawer can be built in.

Finish: Warm champagne with carving slightly brighter, as photographed. Any tone or leaf finish can be specified.

Height: Set from the sofa arm or chair it stands beside.

Dimensions: Custom sizes made to order - final measurements confirmed in writing before production.

Available: Singly or as a matched pair.

Made: Handcrafted Indian luxury, produced to order by master Indian artisans.

A table that stands on one asymmetric support cannot be laid on its side in transit, so it is cradled upright in shaped blocks that hold the plinth and the case together and stop any rocking within the crate.

The carved wave projects further on one side than the other and is the most fragile element. Contoured foam is cut to its profile, bearing on the body of the leaf and never on the scrolled crest, which gets its own rigid guard.

The carved leaf repeat under the top and around the plinth stands proud on all visible faces, so foam bridges over both bands rather than pressing into them.

The turned bun feet sit lowest and take the first contact from a trolley - each is guarded individually.

The drawer is removed or secured shut so it cannot run out and strike the front. The table then goes into a rigid outer carton braced internally. Ordered as a pair, each is crated separately. Dent-free arrival is guaranteed.

Free delivery is included anywhere in India, with no distance surcharge and nothing added at the end. Metros, tier-two cities and smaller towns are served on the same terms, and a pair ships on the same free terms as a single table.

Production begins once your dimensions - including the height of the sofa arm it stands beside - drawer arrangement, carving depth and finish are confirmed in writing. We give you a clear timeline then and keep you updated as the piece moves through carving, case building, drawer fitting and finishing.

We dispatch through carriers experienced with carved solid wood furniture, and send tracking details as soon as it leaves us.

On arrival our team brings the table in, positions it, checks it stands true on your floor and that the drawer runs level, and removes all packaging. Dent-free arrival is guaranteed - if anything is not right, tell us and we will resolve it.

The solid teak frame and joinery carry a 20-year warranty - the case, the drawer box and its runners, the carved wave support and the oval plinth.

The drawer is the part of this design that most depends on how it was built. With no legs at the front corners, its runners are housed into the case sides and its rail is jointed into both of them, so the opening stays square under load rather than relying on corner posts that are not there. That is what keeps the drawer running level for decades.

The carved support is cut from thick solid teak with the grain laid to follow the sweep of the wave, so the fibre carrying the load runs unbroken from the plinth to the underside of the case.

The teak carries a lifetime warranty against termite damage for as long as you own the piece, from the oils in the timber rather than the finish over them.

If anything covered needs attention, send us your order details and photographs and our artisans will handle the repair or replacement.
