Vivien Side Table - Charred Ember on Alder
Vivien Side Table - Charred Ember on Alder
Custom, American Hardwood Furniture
Every living space needs a grounding element—a quiet, reliable companion next to your favorite armchair, sofa, or bedside. The Vivien Side Table, crafted in a versatile 24" size, offers exactly that. With its clean lines and thoughtful proportions, it brings both function and a sense of calm to your daily routines.
Honest Materials and Character
Handcrafted from solid Alder, this table features our deep Charred Ember finish. This rich, dark tone highlights the natural, honest grain of the hardwood rather than hiding it, offering a warmth that anchors a room. Alder is chosen for its smooth texture and enduring character, ensuring this piece remains a beautiful, functional part of your home for years to come.
Designed for Living
At 24", this side table is sized to hold a reading lamp, your morning coffee, or a favorite book. It functions beautifully on its own as a bedside table or living room accent, and it can also be paired with the matching Vivien Coffee Table and Sofa Table to create a cohesive, balanced look throughout your home.
Handcrafted to Order
Like all James & James furniture, the Vivien Side Table is made to order by skilled craftsmen who understand that furniture is meant to be lived with, gathered around, and passed down. We build each piece with care, focusing on joinery and finishes that stand up to the beautiful, active routines of everyday life.

Every piece is made to order, fully customizable in size, stain, and finish, and built to be passed down for generations.

Inside Our Arkansas Workshop
Solid American Hardwoods
Every piece begins with premium American hardwoods — knotty alder, white oak, and black walnut — hand-selected, dried, and processed in our Arkansas facility before a single cut is made.
Precision-Shaped Components
Legs and pedestal bases are shaped to exacting specifications in our Arkansas woodshop, then hand-inspected and refined by our craftsmen before they ever reach the assembly floor.
Built by Hand & Made to Order
Each piece is built one at a time by our artisans to your specifications, using solid hardwood construction and time-tested joinery designed to hold up for generations of real family life.
Hand-Finished for Life
Our in-house finishers apply your chosen stain and protective topcoat by hand, ensuring even color, rich depth, and a durable finish that ages beautifully with use.
