What Is a Side Table?

A side table is a small, freestanding accent table typically placed beside seating, at bedside, or in entryways to hold lamps, drinks, books, and decorative objects. Side tables are also called end tables when positioned at the ends of sofas or chairs, and accent tables when used as standalone decorative pieces in hallways or corners.

What You Get With the Mercana Laraya Side Table

1. Solid Oak and Oak Veneer Construction -- the frame is solid oak and the square top is engineered wood covered in oak veneer, providing both structural integrity and natural wood beauty.
2. Dark Brown Stain Finish -- the rich stain enhances oak's distinctive grain pattern while coordinating with traditional, transitional, and modern interiors.
3. Semi-Arched Panel Legs -- the intriguing arched frames add architectural detail visible from all four sides, making the table equally attractive in open floor plans or against walls.
4. 24-Inch Square Top -- the spacious surface holds table lamps, stacked books, trays, and decorative objects without crowding smaller adjacent furniture.
5. 32-Pound Solid Weight -- the substantial build ensures stability and prevents tipping when items are placed on the tabletop or when bumped in high-traffic areas.

How Do You Style a Side Table in Living Rooms and Bedrooms?

Position the Laraya beside upholstered chairs or at sofa ends in living room furniture groupings, pairing it with a table lamp and a small tray to corral remotes and coasters. In bedrooms, use it as a nightstand next to the bed with a reading lamp and alarm clock, or anchor it in a reading corner with a stack of books and a potted plant. The dark brown finish complements both neutral palettes and bolder accent tables in mixed-material vignettes, and the 24-inch height works well beside standard-height sofas and lounge chairs in end and side table pairings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a side table and an end table?

Side table is the broader term for any small table placed beside furniture, while end table specifically describes a side table positioned at the end of a sofa or sectional.

What height should a side table be next to a sofa?

A side table should be within 2 inches of the sofa arm height for easy reach; at 24 inches, the Laraya works well with standard sofas that have arms between 22 and 26 inches tall.

How do you style a side table?

Layer a table lamp for task lighting, add a small tray or bowl for keys and remotes, and finish with one or two decorative objects like a candle or small plant to create a balanced, functional vignette.

What size side table next to a chair?

Choose a side table roughly the same height as the chair arm and proportional to the chair's scale; the 24-inch square footprint suits most lounge chairs and accent chairs without overwhelming the piece.

Does the Laraya ship for free?

Yes, LOOMLAN offers free shipping on all orders to the continental United States with no minimum purchase required.

Is assembly required for this table?

Yes, the Laraya ships flat pack and requires some assembly to attach the legs to the tabletop.
