Nesting Tables

Marc Spagnuolo

Years ago, Nicole (Marc's wife) came home with a crappy set of nesting tables from Home Goods. The design inspired Marc to build a reimagined set of tables that feature an Asian influence and proper joinery. These tables will work as occasional tables, plant stands, or simply used as weapons to crush the old crappy tables into pieces.

Large Table: 16"L x 14"W x 21 1/4"H

Small Table: 12 1/2"L x 11 3/4"W x 18 1/4"H
