eames wire base low table

great product! but frustrated by the delivery experience and also given that you can only view this product at a showroom and then have to wait for it to be shipped from the herman miller factory.

it’s a very short little table. after having it around for a while the height is one that i find i operate at more than expected. the base is very strong. i wondered if the table could support my weight so i stood on it to test. sure enough it could easily fill in as a step stool if needed. i was impressed at how such a thin and refined base could be so strong. i turned it over to admire it. i then noticed that the wire frame acts as kind of a cage when turned upside down and that the wire frame could also be a handle. i had discovered what surely the eames duo knew - it doubles as a carrying case. i also wondered what kind of things you could carry in it and so i broke out my measuring tape and sure enough a case of wine fits snugly in. genius.

I have several of these low tables and really like them. Use them alone next to chairs, as a support for vases, or put them together to form a table. This is a classic Eames' design.

Everyone should own a few of these tables - they're well made and extremely functional. Loved the quick shipping from Hive's stocked inventory, too.

A piece of furniture this famous needs no further endorsement. But it's usefulness around the home and office can't be overstated, and in fact, they multiply like rabbits. I've managed to acquire more than a dozen over the years as needs arise, when the WBT proves to be the perfect solution. Whether it's a chair-side perch for a solo martini or a stack of auction catalogs for the evening's read, few surfaces are as durable and worry-free as the WBT. For displaying tribal art, the WBT makes an ideal surface for small pieces viewed from a low lounge chair, or a pedestal to elevate taller sculpture that would otherwise be sitting on the floor. Because of the uniform height and assortment of finishes, creative arrangements remain organized and understated. I've even used them in lieu of equipment racks for audio electronics, where the sturdy wire base supports substantial weight of small tube amps and headphone systems. Without Eames' versatile low tables, I'd be relegated to apple crates and cinder blocks.

I bought this to keep next to my desk for my printer, which is an eyesore. It's perfect! The printer is out of sight because it is low to the ground but still handy. And the table is utilitarian and beautiful, to the extent that it is seen.

I have two of these so far, and will likely find a reason to purchase at least one more. They are great for stacking books on to get them off the floor. And they’re cool low end tables, as well. Fun to mix and match the tops and bases. A good purchase—they are elegant, yet make me smile.

For several years I longed to have these beautiful tables. I ordered four of them. They exceed my expectations. So simple, great materiaal, well made, stable but not heavy. So versatile too. They look great in my living room, with a coffee table book, a flower arrangement or just as a side table for coffee and cake.
