What is the small table in the living room called?
1 Answer

The small table in the living room is often called a side table. The name comes from the fact that these small yet tall tables typically go beside seating. Small side tables positioned on either end of a sofa or loveseat are sometimes referred to as end tables. A low table in front of a sofa is usually called a coffee table.
