What Is a Side Table?
A side table is a small, freestanding surface typically placed next to seating -- sofas, chairs, or beds -- to hold lamps, drinks, books, or decor. Also called an end table or accent table, it ranges from 18 to 28 inches tall and is narrower than a coffee table, making it ideal for corners and tight spaces.
What You Get With the Chelsea House Matteson Side Table
- Compact Rectangular Footprint -- the 16 x 11-inch top offers enough surface for a lamp and drink while fitting into narrow alcoves and office nooks.
- Mirrored Top With Polished Edge -- the glass surface reflects light and surrounding decor, visually expanding smaller rooms.
- Dual-Tone Metal Frame -- silver and gold iron construction adds warmth and dimension, bridging cool and warm color palettes.
- Lightweight Build -- at 15 pounds, the table is easy to move for cleaning or seasonal rearranging.
- Minimalist Profile -- clean lines and open frame keep sightlines uncluttered in living rooms, home offices, and guest bedrooms.
Where Do You Place a Metal and Glass Accent Table?
Position the Matteson beside a reading chair in a living room, next to a sofa arm for remote controls and coasters, or in a home office as a printer stand or plant pedestal. Pair it with a round marble top side table from LOOMLAN's end and side table collection to create visual rhythm in open-plan spaces. The mirror top and iron frame also work well in entryways alongside console tables from the accent table line.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a side table and an end table?
- Side table and end table are used interchangeably; both describe small surfaces placed beside seating, though "end table" often refers to matching pairs at each end of a sofa.
- What height should a side table be next to a sofa?
- A side table should sit within 2 inches of the sofa arm height -- typically 24 to 26 inches -- so you can easily reach items while seated; the Matteson measures 26 inches tall.
- How do you style a side table?
- Layer a table lamp or candle at the back, a small stack of books or tray in the middle, and a sculptural object or plant at the front to create height and depth without cluttering the surface.
- Does the Matteson Side Table require assembly?
- Most Chelsea House tables ship assembled or require only minimal attachment of legs; confirm with LOOMLAN at the time of purchase.
- Does LOOMLAN offer free shipping on this side table?
- Yes, all orders ship free to the continental United States with no minimum purchase required.
- How do you clean a mirror-top side table?
- Wipe the mirror surface with a soft, lint-free cloth and glass cleaner; dust the iron frame regularly with a dry microfiber cloth to prevent buildup.
