What Is a Side Table?
A side table is a compact functional surface placed beside seating -- sofas, chairs, or beds -- to hold drinks, lamps, remotes, and personal items within easy reach. Unlike coffee tables, which anchor the center of a room, side tables and end tables hug the perimeter and typically measure 22 to 30 inches tall to align with armrest height.
What You Get With the Artesia Aiden Glass Top Side Table
- Sofa-Friendly Depth -- the 12-inch profile slides behind furniture without consuming floor space in tight layouts.
- Glass Top Work Surface -- the clear 12 x 39-inch glass top provides a stable platform for laptops, drinks, or decor while offering visual transparency that keeps rooms feeling open.
- Mindi Wood Storage Shelf -- the lower open-grain wood tier holds books, baskets, or electronics, adding warm contrast against the black metal frame.
- Matte Black Metal Frame -- the powder-coated frame delivers durable support and contemporary industrial style.
- Minimalist Two-Tone Design -- the pairing of natural wood and black metal creates a striking focal point that complements modern and transitional interiors.
- Easy Maintenance -- wipe the glass top with a damp cloth and dust the wood shelf with a soft dry cloth as needed.
Where Does a Sofa Side Table Work Best?
Position the Aiden behind a sectional or sofa to create a console-style surface without blocking sightlines, or use it as a room divider in an open floor plan. Pair it with other end and side tables in the living room or layer it into accent table groupings for a curated look. Its narrow depth also makes it ideal for hallways and entryways where space is at a premium -- explore living room furniture to complete your layout.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a side table and an end table?
- Side tables and end tables are functionally identical -- both sit beside seating -- though "end table" often refers to matching pairs at sofa ends while "side table" can describe any accent surface.
- What height should a side table be next to a sofa?
- A side table should sit within 2 inches of the sofa armrest height, typically 24 to 26 inches tall; the Aiden measures 25 inches, ideal for standard sofas.
- How do you style a side table?
- Layer a table lamp for task lighting, add a small plant or decorative object for visual interest, and keep the lower shelf organized with books or baskets to balance form and function.
- What size side table next to a chair?
- Choose a table at least two-thirds the width of the chair arm and within 2 inches of armrest height; the Aiden's 12-inch depth works well beside lounge chairs without crowding walkways.
- Does the Aiden side table ship free?
- Yes, LOOMLAN ships the Artesia Aiden side table free to the continental United States with no minimum order.
- Does the glass top arrive assembled?
