There is nothing bad about tables that contain tabular data, but for
me your table looks more like a list.
You could try to mark it up with a definition list:

  <dl class="productinfo">
      <dt><img src="" alt="" /></dt>
      <dd>Text and button</dd>
      <dt><img src="" alt="" /></dt>
      <dd>Text and button</dd>
      <dt><img src="" alt="" /></dt>
      <dd>Text and button</dd>
      <dt><img src="" alt="" /></dt>
      <dd>Text and button</dd>
      <dt><img src="" alt="" /></dt>
      <dd>Text and button</dd>
  </dl>

css:

dl.productinfo dt {
   clear: both;
   width: 200px;
   float: left;
}
dl.productinfo dd {
   margin-left: 220px;
}

Play around with this values and add some more ;) You should probably
add an ugly <dt class="clear">&nbsp;</dt> with:

dl.productinfo dt.clear {
   clear: both;
   float: none;
   width: auto;
   height: 1px;
   font-size: 1px;
   line-height: 1px;
   margin-top: -1px;
}

regards,

  Martin
