Hairpin leg side tables — solid wood tops on steel legs, built for volume.
The mid-century accent your floor and online channels keep reordering: a solid sheesham, mango or reclaimed-wood top on slim, bolt-on steel hairpin legs — flat-packing dense and documented to clear your customs.
A mid-century silhouette that photographs light and ships flat.
The hairpin leg is a single rod of steel bent into a tapering two- or three-pin leg — a 1940s design that never left the retail floor. On a solid-wood top it reads clean, airy and modern, so the table feels lighter than a block of carved wood and sells across Scandinavian, industrial and contemporary ranges. Because the legs bolt directly to the underside, the piece is flat-pack by nature: tops and leg sets travel in dense, low-breakage cartons, which is exactly what you want from a small, high-turnover SKU. We make the top from genuine Jodhpur solid wood, match the leg gauge to the top size for stability, and finish both halves to a uniform, shelf-ready standard across the whole container.
Choose the wood, then the metal.
The character of a hairpin table comes from pairing a wood top with a leg colour. We cut the tops from solid timber — never veneered panel — and powder-coat or raw-finish the steel to your palette.
Sheesham top
Dense Indian rosewood with deep, open grain — a hard-wearing bedside and accent piece, CITES-compliant and Vriksh-verified.
Sheesham wood & legality
Mango top
Lighter tone with a lively figure — takes colour, bleach and distressing well, the high-margin choice for retail and online channels.
Mango wood range
Reclaimed top
Old-wood character and saw marks with a deforestation-free story your buyers can put on the label.
Reclaimed & old woodLegs are made from steel rod — usually three-pin for stability under a side-table top — and finished in matte black, gold, brass-tone or bare raw metal with a protective lacquer. For the steel side of the build, see the wrought-iron and steel material guide. Acacia and teak tops are also available on request.

Flat-pack cartons and assembly cards make the hairpin table a natural Wayfair, Amazon and Etsy SKU — low cube, low breakage, fast to list.
Living & bedroom
Round and square accents beside a sofa, or nightstand-height pieces by the bed — the light, modern look that lifts a whole room set.
Hospitality & contract
Lamp and bedside tables for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments, with leg gauge sized for commercial wear.
Plant & display
Low hairpin tables double as plant stands and display pedestals — a high-margin décor crossover.
Build a full living-room story by pairing these with hairpin leg coffee tables and other side tables in one compliant, mixed-category container.
Small piece, full paperwork.
A hairpin leg side table crosses the same border as a wardrobe, and under the EU Deforestation Regulation its timber top needs the same geolocated, deforestation-free due diligence. Our sheesham is Vriksh-verified and CITES-compliant, our chain-of-custody is FSC-documented, and we support US Lacey Act declarations, UK Timber Regulation and CARB / TSCA-compliant finishes — so a low-value SKU never becomes a customs problem.
How they are finished and kept.
Tops are finished in low-VOC, CARB / TSCA-compliant lacquer, wax or matte PU to your brief; steel legs are powder-coated or raw with a protective clear lacquer. To care for them, dust with a dry or barely damp cloth, wipe spills promptly, keep the wood away from direct heat and radiators, and re-check the leg bolts after the first weeks of use. Solid-wood tops move a little with humidity — a normal trait of real wood, not a defect — and we can pre-condition finishes for dry or humid destination climates on request.
Hairpin leg side tables, answered.
What is a hairpin leg side table made of?
It is a solid-wood top set on slim steel hairpin legs. We make the top in sheesham (Indian rosewood), mango, acacia or reclaimed wood, and the legs from powder-coated or raw-finish steel rod, usually three-pin, in black, gold, brass-tone or bare metal. Anything with a solid-wood component is in range; we do not position as a plywood or panel supplier.
What leg heights and top sizes do you offer?
Hairpin legs are commonly made at 20–40 cm for low accent and sofa-side tables and up to 55–60 cm for bedside height, with tops from Ø 40 cm rounds to 45 × 45 cm squares. Leg gauge is matched to top size and weight for stability, and every dimension, height and top shape is made to your spec under OEM.
Do hairpin leg side tables ship flat-pack?
Yes. The legs bolt on, so these tables ship knockdown or flat-pack by design — tops and leg sets pack dense to cut freight and breakage and raise container density. We include fixings and can supply assembly cards, retail-ready or Amazon-FBA-ready packaging on request.
What is the minimum order?
A trial or sample order can ship LCL (part-container). For best wholesale pricing thereafter, one 20ft full container load is our standard minimum, and we consolidate hairpin leg side tables with coffee tables, console tables and décor into a single mixed container.
Are the steel legs and wood tops compliant for US and EU import?
Yes. We document FSC chain-of-custody and Vriksh timber-legality on the wood, are EUDR-ready with geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence, and support US Lacey Act declarations, UK Timber Regulation, CARB / TSCA-compliant finishes and ISPM-15 heat-treated export packing, with ISO, SGS and SEDEX / SMETA behind them.
Can you build hairpin leg side tables to our own design or private label?
Yes. We are both ODM — you choose from our catalogue — and OEM, building to your drawings, leg colour, top species, finish and private-label or retail-ready packaging, including custom sizes and CNC-cut tops.
Send a reference or your range plan — we quote FOB/CIF with MOQ and lead time.
Whether it is one bestselling accent table or a mixed container of round, square and nesting hairpin pieces, we will sample the top species, leg colour and finish, cost it and document it for your market.
