- What are the shelves like?
- There are two lower shelves below the round top. They hold books, small plants and a basket, but the MDF is thin, so keep heavy items on the top or the floor.
- Is it sturdy enough for a lamp?
- A small table lamp is fine. A large or heavy lamp, or a big potted plant, is a risk on the MDF shelves and slim wood legs.
- How big is the top?
- The top is round and sized for a lamp, a mug and a phone rather than a full dinner setting. Check the listed diameter before buying if you need it beside a sofa.
- Does it need assembly?
- Yes, the legs attach to the tiered frame. Tiered tables like this are easier to build with two people so the shelves stay level.
- Can it be used outdoors?
- No. MDF and a painted white finish are for indoor use; damp air and rain will damage the surfaces.
- How does it compare with a metal side table?
- A metal table is tougher and easier to wipe clean. The Petunia offers more shelf storage and a softer look, but less durability.
- Where is the Urban Outfitters Petunia Tiered Side Table cheapest?
- At Urban Outfitters, for $99.00, as of our latest check.
