What Is a Side Table?
A side table is a small, functional surface positioned next to seating -- sofas, chairs, or beds -- to hold lamps, drinks, books, or decor. Often used interchangeably with "end table" or "accent table," a side table typically stands 20-26 inches tall, making it easy to reach from a seated position.

How Do You Style a Side Table in a Living Room?
Anchor the Watson next to a mid-century sofa or accent chair and layer a table lamp, a small plant, and a favorite coffee-table book for depth. Pair it with other end and side tables to create symmetry in your living room furniture layout, or use it solo as a sculptural piece in an entryway alongside accent tables in complementary materials.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a side table and an end table?
- The terms are largely interchangeable; "side table" is a broader category, while "end table" specifically refers to a surface placed at the end of a sofa or next to a chair.
- 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 20-26 inches tall -- so you can comfortably reach items from a seated position.
- What size side table next to a chair?
- Choose a side table approximately the same height as the chair arm (usually 20-24 inches) and a width that doesn't exceed the chair's depth, ensuring visual balance.
- How tall should an end table be?
- Most end tables stand 20-26 inches high to align with standard sofa and chair arm heights, placing lamps and drinks at an ergonomic level.
- Does the Watson Side Table ship assembled?
- Yes, the Watson arrives fully assembled with floor protectors already installed, so you can unpack and use it immediately.
