£199
Price History
Description
This bedside table from Corndell's Normandy collection combines natural style with practical storage, featuring a drawer that keeps bedside essentials neatly organised. A soft wash finish highlights the natural character of the wood, with subtle variations that give each piece its own texture. Its simple, relaxed design suits interiors from coastal and farmhouse to modern and classic styles.
Our Stylist Says
I love this bedside table for its classic, versatile look. The Normandy oak finish brings a warm, natural touch that works particularly well in both traditional and contemporary interiors. It’s great for creating a cosy, inviting bedside setup-pair it with neutral bedding and textured textiles for added softness. Practical tips include using the drawer for small essentials like books or chargers, while the surface is perfect for a lamp, a vase, or your favourite decor. Its neutral tone makes it easy to incorporate into various colour schemes, whether you’re aiming for a calm, minimalist vibe or adding a touch of rustic charm.

About Marks & Spencer
History and Expansion
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
Clothing & Home Business Endeavours
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Sustainability and Innovations
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
