Save or Splurge? Two side tables that double up as seating

Extra seating and tables are in demand during the festive season. Dual-purpose furniture cuts the clutter

Extra seating and tables are never so in demand as during the festive season. 

Having dual-purpose furniture cuts down on cluttering a space, so opting for a side table which can double up as a stool is a handy approach.

SAVE 

Homesense’s wooden stool will transform into a table to hold a drink and a book next to a chair for €45.

SPLURGE 

Go for the triple whammy of stool, side table and Christmas gift with the milking stool, handmade using native Irish timber by the Mindful Maker. It's €250 at Cork Craft & Design.
