Solid birch is used for the legs and the edge-band; the top has a chipboard core and a surface of birch veneer, HPL or linoleum. The page lists the table as stackable.

- Versions on the page: birch, IKI white HPL, black linoleum, walnut stain and the limited Seireeni
Story
A low table for the sofa side
Artek describes Table 90D as low and compact, and as at home in both public and private settings, a quality it links to Aalto's idea of versatile furniture.
Seireeni
One of the five versions on the page is the limited Table 90D Seireeni, whose top carries a marquetry pattern; its legs and edge-band are birch. The other four versions have a top in clear-lacquered birch, IKI white HPL, black linoleum or walnut-stained birch.
