Studio Annetta blog.I am most definitely not a fan of nesting tables and have never placed a set in a client's home. They just seem so fussy, even the beautiful Jean Royere set above. For me, the OCD factor of keeping a set in place trumps the usefulness of extra accent tables.
Because we tackle the hard issues here at La Lamp Shade, I want to know what you think of nesting tables.

Generally speaking, I think I might be over nesting tables, but these are sexy bitches and I wouldn't kick them out of my living room.
It all depends on the what and the where. I'm not against a set if it's placed somewhere that makes sense. We had some in the last house, but like a number of things they didn't make the move to this one.
The nesting table is lost on me. I think these would be way sexier solo.
As a rule no but these tables I would happily take, xv.
They confuse me.
nope.
Most are just a cheesy way to take up space, but hese I find really interesting.
These i like, they look like pieces of art!
2 is ok, three is excessive..here the ikebana rule doesnt apply..
I like them...and I love these Royere. I actually have two sets. One is a Venetian trio...the other has a Ruhlmann vibe. Oh well...to each his own.
I thought it was just me who hated nest tables, they are vile with a capital V! x
I have a set of pretty sleek, mid-century nesting tables that I picked up at a thrift store. I like them and don't find them fussy at all. They look great stacked and every once in a while, they come in very handy!
Maybe you, erin and i could each take one of those tables and then everyone will be happy. Or, I'll take all 3, I don't mind the set at all.
I'm with Jenny. They're confusing. Just have a side table and be done with it. I don't have any patience for nesting tables.
as a sculpture, yess!!!!!
as function... not really..
so bottom line for me, is if i had the space to use them as sculpture in a house, i would....
I'm not a fan in general, but all agreed, these are hottilicious! I have a set of lucite nesting tables, but they are "broken" up and are spread out all over my basement.
Mypoliticalexile and Sparker - Hello to you both and welcome to this deliciousness!
Mmmm, logically, they would work really well for our limited space, but I can't quite bring myself to buy some. Although this set might help me shake off my reservations. All the faffing of getting them into position for use just reminds me too much of the over-fussing of my parents and their generation.
i like 'em and i have a teak set in my house. for a small space they're great because you can pull one out if needed without disturbing whatever you've already got on the stack (in my case a plant). i'm pro-nesting.
I just don't understand -- what do they do? I like to pile shit all over my tables, and if they're all nested like that, I can't do it.
So, no.
A warm welcome to Eva Ravenstein (what a fantastic name!).
Just no.
Love them! I feel like those funky ceramic garden stools took the place of a nice nesting table. Simple and classic. Yes.
Hi ya Daine and welcome to this deliciousness!
Umm...only if they don't nest. And even then, probably not. I'd rather spend separately for three uniquely beautiful tables than spend a bundle for three that are essentially the same.
