Aluminum Accent Tables

I fell in love with Pottery Barn's recycled aluminum accent table when I first saw it in their store months ago. I can't remember the original price, but it was more than I wanted to pay - a couple hundred for sure.



I forgot about it for a while, but then rekindled the love when I spied it (or something similar) in this room designed by Brooke Giannetti from Velvet and Linen. I think the table looks great in this room.


Sadly it is no longer for sale on PB's website. But as luck would have it, these nice knock-offs are now available at Pier 1 (though they're not yet on the website - must be new).


While not cheap at about $150 each, the price is at least within reach and I'm sure they'll go on sale at some point.

    I have that Pottery Barn table in my living room and I love it! I have not seen the Pier1 tables, but they look great too! The aluminum really makes the table stand out in a room.

    Yes, everything at Pier 1 goes on sale eventually. I have had so much luck with that.

    love it, I thought you were going to suggest spray painting one.

    btw, did you spray paint that lamp?

    I've seen them @ TJ MAXX & Home Goods but they were still @ least $100.00. Yes they are pretty.

    I saw these at Pier 1... aren't they great?! I saw one a month or so ago at HomeGoods too. Hope you don't have to wait too long for yours to go on sale!

    I love the scalloped edge on the Pier 1 option - good snag!

    Never would have picked this alone, but with so many other things it really looks fab. Happy Reader, Katy

    I offered that style table in my design studio. I also placed one in my clients bedroom with a chair- it's one of my favorites also! Love your blog!

    I've seen them in the clearance section at TJ Maxx. I was tempted but I don't have anywhere to put it! I don't recall the price but I wouldn't have considered it for more than $65. Good luck!

    What a great find! They'll be on sale in no time, plus every time I go there for some reason when it's time to pay, it went on sale by the time I got to the register? It's very strange, I just love that.
    I love your blog, can't wait for the next project update!

    I was so excited to find this post because I tried to buy the PB version but as you said, sold out. I went to Pier 1 today and looked in every nook and cranny and couldn't find those tables anywhere. I even asked the sales people and they said they didn't have them or have ever seen them. When did you see them at your store?

    Do you have homesense/winners type stores in your area? I have seen tables like these there lately.

    I had planned to use one or two of these tables in my eclectic guest room, and had saved a copy of the PB page in my files. I was just as disappointed as you when I discovered the tables were no longer available--since I am finally ready to finish the room. But guess what? These exact tables are at Tuesday Morning this week for 129.99!

    I just received a flyer that the table is onsale at Tuesday Mornings ($125), though I truly love the Pier I pie crust top.
