Skye End Table

The Skye End Table from Four Hands pairs a round slab of solid white marble with a heavy base of weathered dark oak. The base tapers in a cone shape from a broad top to a narrower foot, and a band of contrasting oak wraps the edge of the stone. Reclaimed elm and oak give the wood a worn, uneven surface, so grain, color and marks will differ from one table to the next. Leg levelers under the base keep it steady on uneven floors.

Skye sits within a Four Hands suite that includes dining and poker tables in the same marble-and-oak language. The cool, veined stone against dark timber has a rustic-meets-modern feel, and it suits a leather sofa, a boucle chair or a room full of mixed patterns. Marble brings a polished surface, and the oak keeps the whole piece from reading too formal.

Set it beside a sofa or lounge chair as a place for a lamp, a stack of books and a drink. It also works in a bedroom as a low nightstand or in an entry as a landing spot for keys and mail. The top is stone, so coasters are a good idea, and the table is meant for indoor use only.
