I placed an order for two West Elm side tables in May and they finally arrived! The style I chose was the Tanner Solid Wood Side Table (20”). 

At the time I ordered, I already had the art piece, modular couch, and coffee table. I knew I wanted the side tables to compliment the artwork and coffee table, so I searched for ebony colored wood side tables and fell in love with these pieces. 

What I love about them (aside from the design) is that they  were both made in a fair trade certified factory. Fair Trade is a global movement and business practice that values people and the planet over profits. The Fair Trade Certified label ensures: 

• Safe working conditions
• Environmental protection
• Sustainable livelihoods
• Community development funds

I’m so happy to have beautifully designed and crafted side tables in my living room that also support the fair trade network!
