For a low-profile bed and a tight bedroom footprint, a short, sturdy table can reshape how you use the space. You’ll find an examination of how the Lantana, a mixed-media occasional table with acacia veneers and a black metal frame, performs as a bedside or small-space side table. The piece’s antiqued honey finish, exposed rivets and framed top and bottom shelf are described in relation to everyday use — the 24" height that tends to sit level with low mattresses, the bottom shelf’s usefulness for books or a basket, and the plastic glides that protect floors. The excerpt previews notes on materials, the rustic-industrial design approach and simple assembly, giving a sense of function and fit without claiming a definitive outcome.
