Cross-shaped metal legs carry the load here: the 25.5-inch round table is rated for 200 pounds and the 21.5-inch table for 135 pounds, well beyond a stack of books and a tray of drinks. Heights of 20 and 16 inches let the small table nest under the large one, or spread them apart for a layered look. Engineered wood tops in a rustic brown wood grain contrast with the black powder-coated frames, and adjustable foot pads keep both tables steady on tile or carpet. Round tops leave no corners to catch a knee in a tight walkway between sofa and television. The set weighs 18 pounds in total and ships as two tables with a user guide. Living room, bedroom, office, or balcony, the pair works wherever a surface is needed at seated height. Assembly required.
