Price History
Description
This Swoon bedside table captures mid-century modern style, paired with on-trend Scandi elegance. Solid mango wood with a natural grain adds charming character to this piece. The three drawers include brass-tone accents for a luxe touch. Tapered legs complete the look.
Our Stylist Says
The Swoon Fresco Mango Wood bedside table offers a warm, natural addition to both contemporary and vintage-inspired interiors. I love its mid-century design and the rich, earthy tones of mango wood, which bring a sense of cosy sophistication to a bedroom. It works particularly well in spaces where natural materials and understated elegance are key. To style, consider pairing it with crisp, neutral bedding and textured lampshades to highlight its craftsmanship, or add a pop of colour with accessories like a decorative tray or small plant on top. Its practical drawers are perfect for stashing away essentials, making it as functional as it is stylish in a variety of bedroom 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.
