Compact End Tables That Survive Hot Mugs and Spills

These picks came from Priya, Eleanor, Jenna, Freya and Phil, who each chose the one they'd happily live with themselves. That's the whole test really. Would we buy it, would it still look good in a year, and does it look like the photo once it's out of the box? We skip anything that looks cheap up close, cap how many come from any one shop, and keep the list fresh as stock changes. We earn a small commission if you buy through our links, it never costs you more, and it never decides what gets picked.
