Details, especially in terms of a maker, are quite vague. But we do like the 'look' of this 1950s mini sideboard.

eBay watch: 1960s G-Plan Astro circular coffee table
We have featured one of these in the past, but as this G-Plan Astro coffee table is going cheap right now, it is well worth flagging up once more.
It's one of the classics from the G-Plan golden age, a coffee table made in the midcentury style back in the 1960s, with this curved wood frame made of teak, topped off with a safety glass surface.
British-made (and to a high standard), this Astro coffee table is currently at a bargain £1.24.

eBay watch: Midcentury Danish rocking chair
I love this design – and the midcentury Danish rocking chair isn't too expensive as I write.
It's a refurbished design, with what looks like a good job on it too. The cushions have new foam adhering to current fire regulations, with new upholstery in a textured green fabric plus a restored solid teak frame. It's even got brand new webbing.
The design is still intact though, with those lovely curves and sloping back. £79.99 is the current bid price.
eBay watch: 1950s Danish midcentury mini cabinet
There's no brand on this, but there is no denying that the 1950s Danish midcentury mini cabinet pictured above is an eye-catching piece of design.
Screaming the era, this gem has those 'skinny' angled legs, a grained oak and teak finish plus two shelves behind the two doors. Just pull on the brass handles to get inside.
The seller ships worldwide for a modest price and the selling price right now is equally as modest. Just £9.
eBay watch: 1960s G-Plan Astro coffee table
When it comes to affordable midcentury design, you can't go far wrong with the better end of the G-Plan range. If you dig around, you can find a number of interesting (and always well made) pieces, both at eBay and in secondhand places. This G-Plan Astro coffee table is one of the more common, but also one of the better value designs.
It's a coffee table, first seen in the 1960s and made of teak, that curved wood frame offering some midcentury-style cool, the whole thing finished off by a central piece of glass. It looked good then and it arguably still looks good now.
This one looks in excellent condition, having 'recently been waxed and oiled', with no mention of any kind of damage anywhere. It's no a 'buy it now' for £95. If you miss out or think that's a bit costly, keep looking, they do come up regularly.
