What it is
An industrial side table that earns its place in the room
The industrial side table pairs a thick, visibly grained solid-wood top with an exposed metal frame — usually wrought iron in a matte black or raw finish. It is the accent table buyers reach for in lofts, cafés, hotel lounges and open-plan living rooms: small enough to flank a sofa or bed, strong enough to take a lamp, a stack of books and a drink without wobble. Because the look depends on real material rather than print or laminate, it is only convincing when the wood and metal are genuine. That is exactly what we build.
Every table we export carries at least one solid-wood component. We do not position as a plywood or panel supplier — the top is solid timber, machined, filled and finished by hand. The frame is formed and welded iron, then powder-coated or clear-sealed. The result is a piece that looks the part on a product page and holds up through years of contract use.
Materials & properties
The woods — and why each one suits an industrial piece
Sheesham (Indian rosewood)
Dense, hard and dimensionally stable, with dramatic dark-to-golden grain that anchors the industrial look. The premium choice for a top that will be handled daily. Sheesham is CITES-compliant Dalbergia sissoo — handled with full legality documentation.
Mango wood
Fast-grown, sustainable and open-grained, mango takes dark and distressed finishes beautifully and keeps weight — and freight cost — reasonable. A strong value pairing with black iron for volume programs.
Acacia
Hard-wearing with rich tonal variation and tight grain. Excellent scratch and moisture resistance, which suits café, bar and hospitality floors where tables get used hard.
Reclaimed / old wood
Salvaged timber with authentic age, nail holes and patina — the most sought-after surface for a true factory-salvage aesthetic, and a genuinely deforestation-free story to tell buyers.
Teak, rosewood, rubberwood and pine are available on request for specific programs. The iron frame is standard in matte-black powder coat; raw clear-sealed, antique and distressed metal finishes are all possible, as are brass accents where a warmer tone is wanted. See the sheesham material guide for grain, hardness and finish detail on our lead timber.

Use cases
Where industrial side tables sell
The same table serves several of your channels at once, which is why it moves well in mixed containers:
- Hospitality & contract — sofa-side and bedside in boutique hotels, cafés, bars and lounges where the industrial look is part of the brand.
- Retail & chains — a repeatable accent piece with a strong shelf and showroom presence.
- Online sellers & dropship — flat-pack, FBA-ready and branded packaging for Wayfair, Amazon and Etsy programs.
- Interior designers & developers — specified into residential and fit-out projects that need genuine material, not laminate.
- Private-label brands — your design, your packaging, our factory.
Care
Care & longevity
Give your customers simple, correct guidance and the table lasts:
- Dust the wood top with a soft dry cloth; wipe spills promptly — never leave standing liquid on an oiled surface.
- Refresh oil- or wax-finished tops periodically to keep the grain protected; lacquered tops need only occasional damp-cloth cleaning.
- Keep away from direct heat and prolonged direct sun, which can lighten tone and stress solid wood.
- Wipe the iron frame dry; the powder coat resists day-to-day moisture but is not for permanent outdoor exposure.
- Check and re-tighten frame bolts on knockdown units after assembly and once a season under heavy use.

FAQ
Industrial side tables — buyer questions
What wood is used in your industrial side tables?
We build them in solid sheesham (Indian rosewood), mango, acacia and reclaimed/old wood, paired with powder-coated or raw wrought-iron frames. Each piece carries at least one solid-wood component — we do not supply veneer or particle-board tables.
Do you ship industrial side tables flat-pack?
Yes. Most frames detach from the top, so tables ship knockdown (RTA) to cut freight cost and breakage. Assembled builds are also available. Flat-pack maximizes container density and suits online sellers and large importers.
What is the minimum order for industrial side tables?
A trial or sample order can ship LCL. For best competitive pricing we ask for a minimum of one 20ft FCL thereafter, and you can mix industrial side tables with other categories in the same compliant container.
Are the metal frames and wood finishes export-compliant?
Yes. Timber is covered by FSC chain-of-custody and Vriksh, with EUDR geolocation and US Lacey Act declaration support. Finishes are offered CARB / TSCA Title VI formaldehyde-compliant, and packaging is ISPM-15 heat-treated.
Can you make industrial side tables to our own design or private label?
Yes. We work ODM from our ready designs and OEM to your drawings, including custom CNC detailing, bespoke sizes, branded and retail-ready packaging for private-label and contract programs.
How long is the lead time?
Typical production is 30-45 days after sample sign-off, shipping FOB or CIF from Mundra or Nhava Sheva. Urgent orders can be expedited at a premium.
