Both the finish and proportions are strikingly similar to Soho Home’s Dawson Side Table in Oak Burl, which goes for £995 (or £846 with a £135-a-year Soho Home membership). Looked at side by side, the pair definitely have the same warm, knotted burl grain and a similarly chunky, sculptural base. Whether it’s as good as the real thing is ultimately up to you, though the price gap alone – a difference of £835.80 between the two – is bound to be a very persuasive detail. The Soho Home version costs over £800 more than the M&S dupe Credit: Soho Home Soho Home Dawson Side Table, Oak Burl, Olive: £995 M&S sells the table as online only, dispatching within a week, with a one-year guarantee attached and no assembly required, which will come as a relief for those who sweat at the words “flat pack”.
