Price History
Description
A compact round design makes the Maris bistro table by Royalcraft well suited to smaller outdoor spaces. It’s crafted from FSC®-certified acacia timber with a light teak scratch finish, offering durability while highlighting the natural grain. The 800mm diameter top provides comfortable space for two, ideal for morning coffee or relaxed dining.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Maris round two seater because of its versatile, natural finish, which makes it a great addition to both modern and rustic interiors. Its compact size is perfect for smaller spaces like balconies, breakfast nooks, or corner spots in open-plan kitchens. For styling, consider pairing it with neutral or pastel accessories to keep the look light and airy, or add a pop of colour with vibrant cushions and tableware. Practical tips include using it as a cosy spot for morning coffee or casual outdoor dining, and layering with outdoor rugs or planting nearby to bring a relaxed, inviting vibe. Its simple design allows it to blend seamlessly with different textures and materials, making it an adaptable piece for various settings.

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.
