Price History
Description
Add extra surface space when you need it with the Ember nest of tables from Gallery Direct. Each piece in the set of two features a neat rectangular shape, with rounded legs and corners for a contemporary effect. The larger table has a glass top, while the smaller has a solid finish.
Our Stylist Says
I love this set of nest of tables for its versatile and natural aesthetic, making it a perfect addition to both contemporary and Scandinavian-inspired interiors. The neutral wood tone adds warmth without overwhelming a space, which means they work well alongside soft textiles and muted colour palettes. Practical styling tips include stacking these tables together to save space or positioning them separately to create multiple surfaces for lamps, plants, or books. They’re a great option for small living rooms or cosy corners where you want functionality without clutter, offering flexibility whether you’re entertaining or just relaxing at home.

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.
