Traditionally crafted from high-quality hardwoods like Hongmu (mahogany-colored rosewood) or Hualimu. This space-saving design, often consisting of three or four graduated pieces that stack together, allows them to be used individually as side tables or plant stands when needed.

These tables often feature Ming-style aesthetics characterized by clean lines, simple hand-carved scroll motifs, and horse hoof feet. Traditional sets use mortise and tenon joinery without nails or screws, ensuring long-term structural stability. While nesting tables originated in 18th-century England, Chinese craftsmen adapted the style using local materials for the export market and domestic use.
