Durable end tables are typically made from solid wood, metal, or high-quality engineered wood. Hardwood species like oak, maple, or walnut offer excellent durability and classic aesthetics. Metal end tables, such as those made from wrought iron or steel, provide a sleek look and sturdiness. Glass-topped tables with metal or wood frames add a touch of elegance while maintaining durability. Engineered wood, like plywood or MDF, can be durable if well-constructed and finished. For outdoor use or high-humidity areas, materials like teak, aluminum, or resin wicker are suitable for longevity.
