Product Insights
The Avio Oak End Table by Blomus, designed in collaboration with Japanese designer Kazushige Miyake, features a split-top design where two oval halves are separated by a gap, symbolizing two halves forming a whole, while a symmetrical base ensures stability. Made from solid FSC-certified oak, it is intended as a lifetime heirloom with a finish that can be sanded and re-oiled to remove scratches and wear. Its 12-inch depth is shallower than typical sofa seats, allowing it to tuck flush without protruding, and its 17.75-inch height suits low-profile seating. However, it lacks adjustable leveling feet, so shims may be needed on uneven floors, and spills must be blotted immediately with coasters mandatory to prevent stains. The $649 CAD price is justified by solid oak longevity compared to veneer alternatives, and it coordinates with a matching stool and coffee table.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Avio Oak End Table: Choose this if you want a compact, minimalist end table with a distinctive rounded, symmetrical look, made in Europe from FSC-certified solid oak and designed—per the brand—to last a lifetime. Its two-part oval top offers space for books, cups, or decor, with a symmetrical base the retailer says ensures stability, and it comes in Black or Taupe at 17.75 inches high by 21.75 inches wide by 12 inches deep. Note that some assembly is required.[1,2,3] | Fera Steel Side Table: Choose this if you want a sleek, industrial-style steel side table that tucks into small spaces: its C-shaped open base with a thin rectangular top slides beside a sofa or chair, and it measures 22.75 inches tall, 19.75 inches wide, and 10 inches deep. It arrives fully assembled with no setup required, in a uniform matte dark finish, and is offered in Black, Grey, Light Grey, and Light Brown.[4,5,6] | Toru Wavy Ceramic Side Table: Choose this if you want a decorative accent piece with retro charm—Simons describes its retro elegance as a playful yet sophisticated touch for decor enthusiasts. The lacquered ceramic body comes in grey with a high-gloss finish and four stacked rounded tiers, arrives fully assembled, and stands 17.25 inches tall with a 13.5-inch diameter. Note it weighs 8 kg (about 17.64 pounds), so it is sturdier to move than a lightweight side table.[7,8] |
