The top of this 43 in x 19 in x 21 in table does not sit at one level. A 12 in section steps up above the main run, which changes how the surface gets used: drinks and snacks stay on the lower plane where they are easy to reach and hard to knock, while magazines, a lamp or a plant occupy the raised step and stop competing for the same flat area. It also gives the piece its outline, and the color-blocked white and natural finish plays to that, reading as two joined volumes rather than one slab. The stepped tabletop is rated for 100 lbs across its levels. Underneath, two open compartments handle small sundries, and they are deliberately different sizes rather than a matched pair. The taller one measures 11 in x 19 in x 12 in inside, which suits upright items that would tip over in a shallow bay, while the wider one runs 30 in x 19 in x 8 in for things that lie flat and stack. Neither has a door or a drawer front, so anything stored is visible and reachable without opening a thing. Splayed support legs give the base a wider stance than the top footprint, which is what keeps a stepped and asymmetric piece from feeling top-heavy, and protective pads on each foot avoid scratches on the floor. The surface is finished splinter-free so maintenance is a wipe. The whole table weighs 42 lbs, sits 5 in off the ground, and suits a living room, study, bedroom or reception room. Assembly is required.
