A welcoming living room benefits from furniture that can adapt easily to everyday needs. This Ercol drop-leaf side table provides a useful surface while folding into a slimmer shape when extra space is needed. The table features a rounded elm top with a single hinged drop leaf, allowing it to be used in either a compact or extended position. Tapered beech legs and shaped stretcher supports give the piece a light, balanced appearance, while the curved edges and visible timber grain add warmth and character. It would work well as a side table, occasional table or small coffee table. The previous finish has been stripped, the surface lightly sanded, and several coats of lacquer applied to protect the timber and enhance its natural colour and grain. Historic dark marks and signs of earlier use remain visible across the top, particularly near the edges, and contribute to the table’s established character. The top is made from elm, with beech used for the legs and supporting frame. Its practical folding design, compact proportions and recognisable Ercol styling make it a useful choice for smaller rooms or flexible living spaces.[dimensions][w]61(37)[/w][h]40[/h][d]61[/d][/dimensions]
