Side Tables

We’re excited for you to find your favorite side table but first, let us go through a few questions you might have before making a decision.
What is a side table’s purpose?
A side table is placed next to a piece of furniture, usually a sofa or bed. Its main purpose is to make sure any essential items you need are within easy reach. This includes lamps, eyeglasses, beverages, charging cords, books, TV remotes, and more. End tables can also add a new element of style to any room they’re placed in.
How tall should side tables be?
When you’re looking to buy a side table, keep in mind the design should be at the same height or just below the bed or arm seat of the sofa. If it’s lower than this, you will find yourself leaning down to reach for essentials, making it an uncomfortable placement.
What size of side table should I get?
Consider the other pieces of furniture you have in the living room or bedroom. The size of your new side tables shouldn’t overpower your sofa or chair, but they also shouldn’t be so small that they won’t be noticeable or functional. When you’re looking through our selection, we recommend paying attention to the dimensions so you can pick the best fit for your home.
What are the different types of side tables?
A side table with storage usually comes with at least one drawer, so you can put away any essentials to keep the top looking neat and organized. This accent table is perfect for adding storage to your side of the bed. Swivel side tables allow you to easily move the table when you're reaching for something.
Nesting side tables are perfect if you live in a small space. They usually come in a set of two, so you can fit one under the other to save space. Plus, this type of design can also be used as a nightstand or coffee table.
Do side tables have to match?
Not necessarily, matching side tables will look great in your home, but adding different options brings a unique look and personal touch to the room. Just make sure the sizes, colors, and styles are similar.
How to decorate your side table?
When it comes to decorating your side table, it’s more about what you need to reach for when you’re sitting down. First, decide on any decorative accessories and essential items you’ll be placing or storing on your side table, and then you can add a tray or basket on top to keep everything organized.
