Teak Outdoor Side Table – 23 Inch, Compact Accent Table

A compact teak side table standing 23.5 inches high, two inches taller than the other side table in this range. Those two inches put the top slightly above most chair arms rather than level with them, which suits a deeper lounge chair where the seat sits low and the arm sits low with it.

A tall, narrow table is the harder proportion to make stable, since the higher the top, the more a knock at the edge does to tip it. Solid teak supplies the weight to resist that without a wide base spreading out into the space where someone's feet go. Outdoors the timber needs no treatment at all: left alone it moves from brown toward grey and then stops.

Use it beside a deep lounge chair, at the corner of a sectional, or as a plant stand on a terrace. The compact top holds a drink and a book and not much more, which is the point of the size.
