Should end tables be higher or lower than a couch?

1 Answer
Should end tables be higher or lower than a couch?
Generally, end tables should be about the same height as the arm of your couch. When the tables aren't significantly taller or shorter, you can reach the tabletop to access items or switch on a lamp with greater ease. Shop a range of end tables on 1stDibs.
