Iron and wood side tables, hand-forged in Jodhpur — wholesale for importers, retailers and hospitality.
Hand-forged iron bases carrying solid sheesham, mango, acacia or reclaimed-wood tops — the industrial and farmhouse look, built to commercial strength. Manufacturer-direct, compliance-documented and container-ready, from a trial order up.
Forged iron and real wood — the side table buyers keep reordering.
A side table earns its place by footprint and margin: small to ship, quick to merchandise, endlessly restylable beside a sofa, a bed, a reading chair or a hotel lounger. Put that top on a hand-forged iron base and it gains presence no tube-steel copy can match — hammer marks, a clean industrial X or hairpin line, a cross-brace that holds true. Jodhpur is India's hub for solid-wood and iron furniture, so this wood-and-iron pairing is our home ground. Choose a ready design from our catalogue or hand us your own: we forge the base, finish the top and pack it to your market's standard.
What goes into a table that lasts past the photoshoot.
Hand-forged iron bases
Low-carbon iron worked hot — hammered, drawn, bent and welded by hand — so each base has the density and slight irregularity of true forging, not the hollow ring of tube steel. High tensile strength and malleability mean the frame flexes and resists impact rather than cracking, which is why it survives contract wear. See how we work wrought iron.
Solid-wood tops
Every table carries a genuine solid-wood top — dense, open-grained sheesham (Indian rosewood), warm colour-taking mango, pale hard-wearing acacia, or character-rich reclaimed old wood. The wood brings the warmth, patina and repair-ability a pure-metal table lacks; no plywood, MDF or veneer. Sheesham wood & legality.
Finishes that clear the port
Bases are powder-coated, antiqued or raw-sealed; tops are oiled, waxed, lacquered or distressed to your look. Timber finishes meet CARB / TSCA Title VI formaldehyde norms, so the table reads premium on the floor and clears customs without a hold.
Iron for the structure, wood for the surface.
The two materials do different jobs, and together they outperform either alone. The forged base carries the load and the knocks; the solid top takes the wear your customer actually touches. That is what makes an iron and wood side table a reliable, high-turn line for retail, online and hospitality channels.
Iron earns its keep
A hand-forged base gives a small table a low centre of gravity and real stability — it does not rock or walk across a floor. Iron is slim where wood would be bulky, so a narrow sofa-side or C-table slides over an armrest or under a bed without visual weight. It shrugs off scuffs, moves little with humidity, and holds the industrial, farmhouse, mid-century or loft silhouette crisply shipment after shipment.
Wood carries the warmth
The solid top is the part a buyer runs a hand across and a camera reads first. Sheesham and mango give open grain and depth; reclaimed wood gives genuine age; every top can be oiled to glow or distressed to soften. Wood is repairable — a scratch sands and re-oils rather than scrapping the piece — which is exactly what keeps a table in a hotel room or on a retail floor for years, not seasons.

From baked powder coat to raw-industrial patina.
Powder coat
Electrostatically applied and oven-baked over a zinc-rich primer for the hardest, most even surface. Matte, satin or gloss black or your colour — the specification for high-traffic hospitality and covered-outdoor use.
Antique & patina
Hand-applied antique black, aged bronze or controlled rust patina for vintage, farmhouse and loft ranges, sealed to lock the look so each base reads as individually forged rather than mass-finished.
Raw sealed & distressed
Bare forged steel degreased and sealed with lacquer or wax to hold the true industrial character, paired with an oiled or distressed solid top — the authentic loft-and-warehouse look.
One iron and wood side table, every channel that wants presence.
Retail, online & private label
Forged iron with a solid-wood top photographs with instant character for marketplace and catalogue listings, and the weight signals quality in a showroom. Its small footprint and flat-pack build make it a high-turn, freight-efficient line. We produce your range under your brand with retail-ready or Amazon-FBA packaging, and consolidate side tables with coffee tables, console tables and décor into one container. Private-label manufacturing keeps the look yours.
Hospitality, resort & contract
Iron and wood is commercial-grade by nature — the base outlasts fashion cycles, ideal as a guest-room bedside, a café or bar side table, or a lobby accent. Because every piece is QC-checked, the base is genuine forged iron and the top is solid timber finished to CARB / TSCA norms, it holds up to contract use. Hospitality & contract furniture is built and inspected for the floor, not just the showroom.
Paperwork your customs broker will thank you for.
Import-ready on every container
The iron base carries no timber-legality burden, but the solid and reclaimed wood in the top does — and that is where buyers get caught at the port. Our tables ship with FSC chain-of-custody, Vriksh timber-legality and CITES-compliant handling of Dalbergia sissoo behind the wood, backed by ISO, SGS and SEDEX / SMETA audits. We are EUDR-ready with geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence, and we support US Lacey Act declarations, UK Timber Regulation, CARB / TSCA finishes and ISPM-15 heat-treated export packing. See every certification we hold.
Care & longevity
Finished correctly, the iron base needs little maintenance — dust with a dry or barely-damp cloth, wipe spills promptly, keep the feet dry where they meet the floor, and touch up any chips before rust can start. Care for the wood top on its own schedule with occasional oil or wax, and use a coaster under hot or wet items. We supply matching touch-up finish and written care specifications with every order, so the table stays sellable long after it lands.
Iron and wood side tables — wholesale & export FAQ
What is an iron and wood side table?
It is an occasional or accent table built on a hand-forged iron base carrying a solid-wood top, rather than an all-wood or tube-steel piece. In our range the forged frame holds a sheesham, mango, acacia or reclaimed-wood top — so you get the industrial or farmhouse look with steel-grade rigidity and the warmth and repair-ability of real timber. The hammer texture and clean welded lines come from genuine hand forging, not hollow tube steel.
What woods do you use for iron and wood side tables?
Every table pairs a hand-forged iron base with at least one solid-wood component — most often sheesham (Indian rosewood), mango, acacia or reclaimed old wood, with teak on request. We do not supply plywood, MDF or particleboard tops; the frame is forged iron and the top is genuine solid timber, which is why these tables survive café, lobby and residential use alike.
Are iron and wood side tables suitable for hospitality and contract use?
Yes. Forged iron is commercial-grade by nature — the base outlasts upholstery and fashion cycles and resists the knocks of guest rooms, café floors and bar lounges. Every table is QC-checked, the top is genuine solid wood finished to CARB / TSCA Title VI norms, and the base is powder-coated over a zinc-rich primer for high-traffic durability.
What is the minimum order for wholesale iron and wood side tables?
A trial or sample order can ship LCL (part-container) so you can approve the forging, finish, wood and build first. For best wholesale pricing thereafter our standard minimum is one 20ft full container load, and we consolidate iron and wood side tables with coffee tables, console tables, other furniture, metalware and décor into a single mixed container.
Can you make iron and wood side tables to our own design or private label?
Yes. We work as both ODM (our catalogue designs) and OEM — forging to your drawings, dimensions, top wood, powder-coat colour and finish, with custom CNC and metal fabrication, your branding and retail-ready or Amazon-FBA packaging. Send a reference photo, drawing or physical sample and we prototype to it.
Do iron and wood side tables ship assembled or flat-pack?
Both. Because forged iron is dense, freight matters — so we engineer most tables as knock-down or flat-pack, with bolt-on legs and a removable top, to cut breakage and maximise container density. Sculptural or welded single-piece bases may ship assembled to protect the design; we confirm the format per style and quote FOB or CIF from Mundra or Nhava Sheva.
Send a reference or your drawings — we'll forge, sample and ship.
Tell us the base style, top wood, finish, quantity and market. We confirm wood, finish, MOQ and a FOB/CIF price from Mundra or Nhava Sheva, produce a sample for approval, then manufacture and pack to your standard on a 30–45 day lead time.
