Larry End Table – Modern Oak & Steel Side Table
Our Larry End Table brings thoughtful design to any living room, bedroom, or office. Handcrafted in our workshop, this compact side table features a 10-inch deep solid oak shelf paired with a powder-coated steel frame in matte black. The open design keeps your space feeling airy while offering display and storage on two levels.
We built the Larry for modern homes where quality meets function. The natural oak grain adds warmth, while the steel frame provides industrial contrast and exceptional stability. At just 18 inches wide, it fits perfectly beside sofas, chairs, and beds without overwhelming smaller rooms.
Construction & dimensions
Materials & Construction
We source solid oak from responsibly managed forests, selecting boards for consistent grain and color. Each shelf receives hand-sanding and a clear matte finish that protects the wood while showcasing its natural character. You’ll notice subtle variations in grain pattern—that’s the beauty of real hardwood.
The steel frame undergoes powder-coating in our facility, creating a durable matte black finish that resists scratches and daily wear. We weld corner joints for maximum strength, then hand-inspect every weld point. The Larry’s 10-inch shelf depth strikes the perfect balance between surface area and space efficiency.
Dimensions & Placement
Perfect for Compact Spaces
At 18 inches wide and 24 inches tall, the Larry End Table fits beautifully in apartments, condos, and homes where every inch matters. The 10-inch depth means it sits flush against walls or floats beside furniture without protruding into walkways.
We recommend placing the Larry within arm’s reach of seating—ideal for lamps, drinks, books, and remotes. The lower shelf works perfectly for magazines, plants, or decorative storage baskets. In bedrooms, it functions as a streamlined nightstand that doesn’t crowd the bed.
Assembly & Care Instructions
Your Larry End Table arrives partially assembled with the frame pre-welded. You’ll attach the two oak shelves using the included hex key—most customers complete assembly in under 15 minutes. Our instruction sheet includes illustrated steps and a QR code linking to our assembly video.
For daily cleaning, simply wipe oak surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a barely damp cloth followed immediately by a dry towel. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture on the wood.

Questions About the Larry End Table
Each shelf measures exactly 10 inches deep from front to back. This depth accommodates most table lamps, small plants, books, and everyday items while keeping the table compact enough for tight spaces.
The overall footprint is 18 inches wide by 10 inches deep, making the Larry ideal for apartments and smaller rooms where you need surface area without sacrificing floor space.
Both the upper and lower oak shelves are rated to hold up to 40 pounds each when weight is evenly distributed. The steel frame and shelf mounting system provide excellent stability for typical end table use.
We’ve tested the Larry with heavy table lamps, stacks of hardcover books, and decorative objects without any flexing or instability. Just avoid concentrating all weight in one corner of the shelf.
The Larry arrives with a clear matte polyurethane finish applied to the oak shelves. This protects the wood from moisture and daily wear while showcasing the natural grain.
We don’t recommend removing our finish to apply stain, as the oak is already finished and sealed. If you need a different wood tone, contact our customer service team to discuss custom order options.

We designed the Larry for indoor use only. While the powder-coated steel offers some moisture resistance, the solid oak shelves are not treated for outdoor exposure and can warp or crack with humidity changes and temperature fluctuations.
