Rectangular side table with storage

Storage is the main choice here. The walnut and natural tables have open lower shelves, the oak and white tables close behind barn-door cabinets, and the 26.8 inch tables hide a compartment under a top that swivels 360 degrees and roll on locking casters. The black lift-top table adds two drawers, adjustable height and a power strip with AC outlets plus USB-A and USB-C ports.

Narrow rectangular side table sizing

A rectangular top fits where a square one would block the path. The 13.4 inch deep walnut table slips beside a sofa arm with room to walk past, and the 14 inch wide natural table, 17.5 inches deep, fits between a bed and a wall. Pick a table within an inch or two of your sofa arm height; most here stand 19.7 to 24 inches.

Small rectangular side table materials

The 23.6 inch walnut table is solid wood on an H-shape base, and the 27.2 inch walnut table is solid pine on a metal frame. The white outdoor table is solid acacia for a patio or porch. Construction: solid wood and MDF panels on the swivel and lift-top tables, MDF panels and a metal frame on the barn-door tables, and MDF on the 14 inch natural table.

Rectangular side tables for living room and bedroom

In a living room, set the long side parallel to the sofa so the top reaches the seat and the arm. In a bedroom, a rectangular table leaves more floor beside the bed than a round one of the same top area, and the barn-door and drawer models keep bedside items out of sight.

Dust wood finishes with a soft cloth and use coasters under drinks. Wipe the outdoor acacia table after rain and store it under cover in winter.

Frequently asked questions

What is a side table?
A side table is a small table set beside a sofa, chair or bed to hold a lamp, drink or book within reach. A rectangular side table is longer than it is deep, so it fits along a sofa arm or bed without blocking the path. These run 14 to 27.2 inches long.
How tall should a side table be?
A side table should be within about 2 inches of the height of the sofa or chair arm beside it, which is roughly 20 to 26 inches for most sofas. Rectangular side tables here stand 19.3 to 27.2 inches tall, and the black lift-top model adjusts in height.
How high should a side table be next to a bed?
A side table next to a bed should sit level with the top of the mattress or up to a few inches above it, so you can reach a lamp or glass without stretching. The 21.7 to 24 inch rectangular tables here suit most standard bed heights.
How do you style a side table in a living room?
Style a side table in a living room with one tall piece, like a lamp or plant, plus one or two low pieces such as a tray or book, leaving space for a drink. On a rectangular table, put the lamp at the end farther from the sofa and keep the near end clear.
How do you decorate a side table?
Decorate a side table by mixing heights: a lamp or vase, then a short stack of books or a candle, with room left for a drink. Repeat one color from nearby pillows or art. Use the shelf, cabinet or drawers below for remotes and chargers to keep the top uncluttered.
