Designer Bedside Table in Cream and Gold with Three Drawers

The four gilded legs on this table are not legs in the usual sense. They are corner stiles, and the case hangs from them.

The ordinary way to build a chest is to make a box and then fix legs underneath it. It is quick, and it works, but everything the legs carry passes through the joint where they meet the underside - a small area taking the whole weight of the case, the drawers and their contents, plus whatever gets leaned on the top.

Here the four corner members run in one length from the floor to the top corner of the table. The drawer rails are jointed into them at each level, so the case is assembled between the legs rather than resting on them. Load from every rail passes straight down through solid timber to the floor, and there is no single joint carrying everything.

It also fixes the carving. Because each corner is one continuous piece, the carved scroll that starts at the knee can run up through the corner without meeting a joint line - which is why the gold appears to travel unbroken from the foot to the top edge.

Material: solid teak in the corner stiles, carcass rails, drawer boxes, drawer fronts, apron and top.

Structure: four full-height corner stiles with the drawer rails jointed into them, so the case is carried between the legs rather than on them.

Front: serpentine, carried through the top, all three drawers and the apron.

Drawers: three full-width drawers on side runners with stops, framed by one continuous carved cartouche across all three fronts.

Apron: shaped and carved, with a central shell, dropping between the front legs.

Finish: cream ground with gold applied by hand to the legs, drawer surrounds, apron and top edge.

Made to order: height, width, depth, drawer count and finish are all customisable. Custom sizes made to order - final measurements confirmed in writing before production.

The carved gilded legs project at all four corners and are the parts that meet doorways first, so each is individually foam-blocked before anything else is wrapped.

Acid-free tissue goes directly against the cream finish and the gilding, then foam sheet, then bubble wrap, with rigid board across the serpentine top and a protective strip along its gilded edge moulding.

All three drawers are removed, wrapped individually and packed in their marked order so the runners carry no load and the carved fronts never rub together.

The carved apron shell drops below the case and is given its own foam pad.

The table ships in a hardwood crate with corner protection at every arris and orientation and lift markings. Multi-layer protective packaging is included on every order at no extra cost.

Delivery is free anywhere in India, with guaranteed dent-free arrival. No distance charge, no size charge and no handling fee.

Production begins once your dimensions are confirmed in writing - and for a bedside table we ask the height of your bed so the top sits at a comfortable reach. We photograph your actual table through the build: the four corner stiles jointed up, the carving, the cream finish, the gilding and the finished piece.

On site, our team places and levels the table and refits each drawer in its marked position.

Send us lift dimensions, stair turns and doorway widths ahead of dispatch so the route can be planned. Every photograph on this page is of the actual product, not a render.

The solid teak frame and joinery carry a 20-year warranty - the corner stiles, the drawer rails, the drawer boxes, the apron and the top, along with every joint between them.

A lifetime warranty against termite damage runs with the table and never expires. Teak's own oils are its first protection and our warranty stands behind them.

Drawer runners and hardware are covered against manufacturing defect.

Building the case between full-height stiles is what makes that structural warranty straightforward to give: the load path is through solid timber rather than through a single joint under a box.

The cream and gold finish is recorded against your order number, so a matching second table for the other side of the bed can be made later to the same record. Contact us with your order number and we will arrange it.
