Finding the Right Sofa-tables for You
Taller than a coffee table and more elongated and narrow, a sofa table is designed to nestle against the back of a sofa. One-of-a-kind antique, vintage and new sofa tables make a statement while also dividing the room or displaying decorative objects.
Sofa tables are similar to Pembroke tables, which emerged in the 18th century but were positioned in front of the sofa for serving tea or playing cards. The popular furnishing now comes in a range of styles.
Rustic living areas can incorporate natural wood sofa tables that complement the space. Brutalist sofa tables combine organic materials with a distinctly contemporary edge to contrast city and country styles. Scandinavian modern sofa tables offer a sleeker aesthetic. These wooden pieces often have simple designs and few embellishments, with angular lines and experimental structures that enhance any living room.
Notably, minimalist sofa tables frequently feature slightly slimmer profiles. Instead of consisting primarily of wood, these tables are often made of luxurious granite, gleaming brass or lightweight aluminum.

- How high should a sofa table be?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 22, 2019
A sofa table, or a console, should be the same height as the sofa in front of it.

The difference between a sofa table and a coffee table is that a sofa table is always behind the sofa and a coffee table is in front of it. Additionally, a sofa table is the same height as the sofa and a coffee table is much shorter.

- What is a sofa set table called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024What a sofa set table is called depends on its size and design. A sofa set most often includes a low table designed to be placed in front of the sofa. These tables are usually called coffee tables. However, a set may also contain smaller, taller tables for positioning on either end of the couch. This type of table is an end table or side table. In addition, a sofa set may provide a sofa table or console table, which is a taller, longer table that is often placed behind a sofa. Shop a selection of sofa sets and accent tables on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A sofa table is a long and narrow table that’s designed to sit behind a couch. They are also called console tables and hall tables because their thin nature makes them great accent pieces in these places as well. Shop a collection of furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023To determine what size lamp should be on a sofa table, measure the table from the bottom of the legs to the tabletop. Then, choose a lamp that is equal to or up to 1.5 times taller than the table. Shop a range of table lamps from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024No, a side table shouldn't always be lower than a sofa. To make it easy to access items on a table, a sofa's arms should generally be no more than 2 to 3 inches above or below the tabletop. This rule of thumb differs from the one for coffee tables, which should be as tall or 1 to 2 inches shorter than the seat height of the sofa to ensure a balanced look. Explore a large selection of side tables on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024Compared to a sofa, a coffee table should be about two-thirds of the length of a sofa. For example, if a sofa is 95 inches long, the coffee table should be roughly 62 inches wide to create a balanced look. In terms of height, a sofa should be around 2 inches taller than the coffee table. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of coffee tables.
