What Is a Side Table?
A side table is a small, versatile table designed to sit beside a sofa, chair, or bed, providing a surface for lamps, drinks, books, or decorative objects. Also called an end table or accent table, it typically stands 24 to 27 inches tall to align with standard sofa-arm height and can feature open shelves, drawers, or minimal frames to suit various interior styles.
What You Get With the Mercana Trey Black Metal Square Accent Table
- Strong Iron Frame -- coal-black powder-coated metal construction provides lasting stability and a modern industrial aesthetic.
- Two Tempered Glass Shelves -- heat-treated glass resists breakage and offers transparent storage that keeps your space feeling open and airy.
- Compact 22 × 22 Inch Footprint -- square profile fits neatly beside sofas, chairs, or bed frames in tight layouts.
- 24-Inch Height -- aligns with most standard sofa arms, making it an ideal end table for living rooms or lounge areas.
- Open-Shelf Design -- both shelves remain accessible from all sides, perfect for displaying decor, storing remotes, or keeping books within reach.
- 50-Pound Build Quality -- solid weight ensures the table stays stable even when holding heavier items like stacked books or potted plants.
How Do You Style a Side Table?
Place a table lamp or sculptural vase on the top shelf to anchor the composition, then layer a small stack of design books and a decorative object on the lower tempered-glass shelf. Pair this accent table with a neutral sofa or leather armchair to highlight the black metal frame, and echo the industrial finish with other living room furniture in matte black or brushed steel. For a cohesive look, explore additional end and side tables that share the same open-frame aesthetic.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a side table and an end table?

- What height should a side table be next to a sofa?
- An ideal side table stands within 2 inches of the sofa arm height, typically 24 to 27 inches tall, so you can comfortably reach items while seated.
- What is an accent table used for?
- An accent table serves as a functional and decorative surface for lamps, drinks, books, or decor, adding visual interest and utility to living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways.
- How tall should an end table be?
- End tables perform best at 24 to 27 inches in height, matching the arm of your sofa or chair for easy access to beverages and reading materials.
- Does this table ship fully assembled?
- The Trey table requires minor assembly to attach the frame and shelves; all necessary hardware is included, and setup typically takes less than 30 minutes.
- How do I care for the tempered glass shelves?
- Wipe the tempered glass with a soft microfiber cloth and a mild glass cleaner; avoid abrasive sponges to prevent scratching the coal-black metal frame.
