Interesting Facts
Mango wood is considered a byproduct of the fruit industry; once the trees stop producing quality fruit, they are harvested for timber, making it a favorite for eco-conscious modern retailers.
Cultural Significance
Represents the 21st-century shift toward 'organic modernism' where geometric forms are softened by natural materials and textures.
Similar Pieces
Often confused with the 'Drum' or 'Stump' tables. Key difference is the raised lip on the top surface which defines it specifically as a 'tray-top'.
Care & Maintenance
Clean with a soft, dry cloth; use coasters to prevent white rings on the matte finish; avoid citrus-based cleaners which can degrade the protective lacquer.
Value Estimate
$300 - $600 (Current retail market value for similar solid/veneer mango wood pedestal tables).
Sustainability Notes
Mango wood is a highly sustainable material choice due to its rapid growth and status as a secondary crop; longevity depends on climate control to prevent wood movement.
