Telestis End Table – Contemporary Accent Table by Acme Furniture
Our Telestis end table brings timeless craftsmanship to your living space with its compact 10-inch depth and solid wood construction. We designed this piece for smaller rooms where every inch matters, offering a functional surface without overwhelming your floor plan.
The Telestis features a natural oak finish that highlights the wood grain, complemented by tapered legs and a lower shelf for books, remotes, or decorative accents. We handcraft each table in our workshop, ensuring the joinery and finish meet our quality standards.
Whether you’re furnishing a cozy apartment or adding a finishing touch beside your favorite reading chair, the Telestis end table provides the perfect balance of form and function. We built it to last generations, not seasons.
Construction & dimensions
Materials & Construction
We build the Telestis end table from solid North American oak, selected for its durability and beautiful grain variation. Each board is kiln-dried to prevent warping and hand-inspected before entering our workshop.
Our craftsmen use traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery on the leg assemblies, creating connections that remain tight for decades without relying solely on screws or glue. The tabletop is constructed from edge-glued oak planks, finished with three coats of our proprietary natural oil that protects the wood while letting it breathe.
Sizing & Placement
The Telestis measures 22 inches wide, 10 inches deep, and 22 inches tall – dimensions we chose specifically for tight living spaces and narrow hallways. The 10-inch depth lets you tuck this end table behind a sofa or against a wall without creating a tripping hazard.
We recommend placing the Telestis beside sofas, accent chairs, or beds where the 22-inch height aligns perfectly with standard armrests and mattress tops. The footprint is small enough for studio apartments yet substantial enough to hold a reading lamp, phone, and beverage without crowding.
Care & Maintenance
We finish the Telestis with a natural oil-wax blend that requires minimal maintenance to keep its rich appearance. Simply dust with a soft, dry cloth weekly to prevent buildup in the grain.
For deeper cleaning, dampen a microfiber cloth with water and wipe following the wood grain direction. Dry immediately with a clean towel to prevent water spots. We don’t recommend furniture polish or spray cleaners, as they can build up over time and dull the natural finish.
