We popped into Mohr & McPherson’s clearance center last week and discovered these great side tables from India. They’re 20” square and constructed of Shesham wood, also known as Indian Rosewood. Shesham is a fast-growing hardwood, typically sourced from sustainably managed plantations...
Combining circular and square elements in a single piece makes these tables a perfect addition for many spaces. We love the display possibilities of the inner nook!
Hurry over to M & M’s Clearance Center in Cambridge where you’ll find tons of beautiful pieces from around the world, marked down 20 to 70% off original price. These cube tables were originally $280, now selling for $223. Since there is a limited supply, be sure to call first (617-520-2112).
Stay tuned for a full store profile of Mohr & McPherson – coming soon!

Nice as these are, it doesn't seem all that "sustainable" to buy furniture that is shipped halfway around the planet when we have plenty of locally grown and harvested trees on this continent.

Umm...sorry to burst your guys bubble, but "fast-growing" and "hardwood" are usually mutually exclusive. Furthermore, why would you go to all that trouble of using wood, then painting it, especially a hardwood. This could be done much more simply with MDF or plywood.

I wonder if that is a water-based lacquer painted on that "sustainable" wood...

Brian K you are correct but then "fast-growing" is relative. This hardwood use to be harvested for 100 years before tearing down , allowing the wood to dry before making things.
