A series of evenly spaced vertical rattan supports rises between the top and bottom circular frames, their open, airy arrangement allowing light to pass through while maintaining the structural rigidity needed for functional use as side tables. Each joint is finished with McGuire's signature wrapped rattan binding, a decorative lashing detail that reinforces the frame's construction while providing the artisanal, handcrafted signature synonymous with the brand's California craft tradition. The rattan throughout displays a rich, deep cognac-brown patina, its lustrous, well-oiled sheen speaking to years of careful maintenance and gentle use. The tabletop surface, formed by the closely spaced upper rattan poles, offers a smooth, functional plane suitable for lamps, drinks, or decorative objects, while the open drum-form base below adds visual lightness despite the pieces' substantial cylindrical scale.

This pair works beautifully as matching side tables flanking a sofa, nightstands in a coastal or boho bedroom, or accent tables in a sunroom or covered porch. They complement Boho, Coastal, Organic Modern, and California Casual interiors particularly well. Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth or brush, and avoid prolonged direct sunlight or excessive moisture, which can affect the rattan's natural finish over time. Each table measures 25¼ inches in width, 25¼ inches in depth, and 20¼ inches in height. Both present in very good condition, with original rattan finish and warm patina, minor scuffs and light surface wear typical for vintage rattan, and no significant damage or repairs.
