What Is a Side Table?
A side table is a small, versatile accent table designed to sit beside seating or stand alone as a functional surface for drinks, books, or decor. Also called end tables or accent tables, these pieces typically measure 18-26 inches tall and provide convenient surface space without dominating the room's footprint.
What You Get With the Currey & Co Gridiron Drinks Table
- Cast Aluminum Construction -- durable metal material shaped into a round top and textured pedestal base that weighs just 13 pounds for easy repositioning.
- Antique Brass Finish -- warm gold metallic surface that complements both modern and traditional color palettes while maintaining a refined aesthetic.
- Fluted Pedestal Design -- convex vertical ridges taper as they rise from the base, creating visual motion and a sculptural silhouette that catches light from multiple angles.
- Floor Protection -- foam padding at the base prevents scratches and scuffs on hardwood, tile, or other flooring surfaces.
- Compact 13-Inch Diameter -- round top provides ample surface for a drink, lamp, or small plant while fitting into tight spaces beside sofas or chairs.
- Geometric Pattern Appeal -- modern design elements allow the table to work as a statement piece in contemporary living rooms or as an accent in transitional spaces.
How Do You Style a Side Table?
Position this round side table next to a sofa or armchair in your living room, pairing it with a small table lamp and a stack of books for functional style. The gold finish complements other metallic accent tables and works beautifully with warm wood tones or neutral upholstery. Use it as a drinks table in a seating area or as a standalone pedestal for displaying a sculptural object in an entryway or dining room.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a side table and an end table?
- Side tables and end tables are functionally the same -- both are small accent pieces placed beside seating -- though "end table" traditionally refers to a table at the end of a sofa while "side table" has broader placement options throughout a room.
- What height should a side table be next to a sofa?
- A side table should sit within two inches of your sofa arm height, typically 24-26 inches tall, to allow easy reach; the Gridiron table measures 23.5 inches, making it ideal for standard-height seating.
- How tall should an end table be?
- End tables work best at 22-26 inches tall, roughly level with or slightly below the arm of your sofa or chair for comfortable access to the surface.
- How do you style a side table?
- Layer a lamp or decorative object, a small stack of books or a tray, and one organic element like a plant or flowers to create visual interest without overcrowding the surface.
- Does this table require assembly?
- The cast aluminum construction typically arrives fully assembled or with minimal assembly; check packaging upon delivery.
- Is free shipping included?
- Yes, LOOMLAN offers free shipping on all orders throughout the continental United States with no minimum purchase required.
