What Is a Side Table?
A side table is a compact accent table designed to stand beside seating -- sofas, chairs, or beds -- to hold lamps, drinks, remotes, or decor. Side tables and end tables are functionally identical; "end table" traditionally refers to placement at the ends of a sofa, while "side table" is a broader term that covers any auxiliary surface in a living space.
What You Get With the Furniture Classics Toulon Side Table
- Hammered Brass X-Base -- The antique brass base is hand-hammered and shaped to resemble crossed blades of grass, delivering industrial texture and lasting durability.
- Dark-Tinted Tempered Glass -- The glass top is heat-treated for safety and features an organic texture that adds depth while remaining easy to clean.
- Compact Rectangular Footprint -- At 13 inches wide by 9 inches deep, this narrow profile fits chairside nooks, small apartments, and tight corridors without sacrificing surface area.
- Versatile Color Palette -- The combination of antique brass and dark glass works across modern, industrial, and traditional interiors.
- Substantial Weight -- At 25 pounds, the table remains stable and wobble-free even with lamps or stacked books.
How Do You Style a Side Table in Mixed Interiors?
Pair the Toulon with a leather armchair and a bronze task lamp for a library-style corner, or flank a velvet sofa with two Toulon tables to anchor a symmetrical arrangement. Its metallic base complements accent tables in glass or marble, and the narrow depth makes it ideal for hallways when paired with taller pieces from LOOMLAN's living room furniture collection. For dining spaces that double as home offices, use it as a drink station beside a credenza from the dining room furniture range.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a side table and an end table?
- Functionally they are the same; "end table" traditionally refers to tables placed at the ends of a sofa, while "side table" is a broader term for any auxiliary table beside seating or a bed.
- What height should a side table be next to a sofa?
- Ideally the table surface should sit within two inches of the sofa arm height for comfortable reach; the Toulon at 21.5 inches high suits standard sofas with 20- to 23-inch arms.
- What size side table next to a chair?
- Choose a table no wider than the chair's depth; the Toulon's 13-inch width and 9-inch depth fit snugly beside lounge chairs without overwhelming the visual balance.
- How tall should an end table be?
- End tables typically range from 20 to 25 inches high to align with sofa arms; at 21.5 inches, the Toulon falls in the sweet spot for most residential seating.
- Does the Toulon side table ship fully assembled?
- The table ships with minimal assembly -- typically attaching the base to the glass top -- and includes all necessary hardware.
- Is the tempered glass safe for homes with children?
- Yes, tempered glass is heat-treated to shatter into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards, making it safer than standard glass if broken.
