Small Cherry Side Table

This small Cherry side table was commissioned to fit into a narrow space between a couch and a wall. In order to increase the footprint for stability while retaining a traditional look of a tabletop with an overhang and set-back apron, I splayed the legs out at an angle in both directions. The slight angles along with the tapered sides of the legs make for a clean and light aesthetic while providing all the structure and stability a small table like this needs.

The under bevel of the tabletop and lower shelf, along with their rounded corners, match the Cherry Blanket Chest I made for the same clients several years ago. Both pieces draw heavily from Shaker furniture designs with just a little extra style beyond a purely utilitarian form.
