- Is it solid wood all the way through?
- Crate & Barrel lists it as solid wood, so the drum body and top are wood rather than veneer over engineered board. Ask the store to confirm the exact species if the grain matters to you.
- Will it fit next to my sofa?
- At 26 inches tall it sits close to the arm height of most sofas, which is the usual target for an end table. Check your sofa arm height and the 26.25-inch footprint before buying.
- Does it have any storage?
- No. It is a closed drum with no drawer, shelf or interior compartment, so it works as a surface only.
- How does it compare with a glass or metal drum table?
- Solid wood is heavier, warmer in tone and more prone to dents and water marks. Glass and metal drum tables are lighter and easier to wipe down but feel colder and show fingerprints.
- Can I use it as a nightstand?
- Yes, if your bed is around the same height. The 26-inch height and round top work beside a bed, though there is no drawer for bedside items.
- How should I care for the wood?
- Dust with a soft cloth and wipe spills promptly, since solid wood can stain. Use coasters under drinks and keep it out of direct sun and away from radiators to limit drying and cracking.
