Questions About Tables From 1931
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024
    Yes, end tables are generally taller than coffee tables.

    The term “end table” is frequently used interchangeably with “coffee table,” and while these two furnishings have much in common, each table type offers its own distinctive benefits in your space.

    Your end table is likely going to stand as tall as the arms of your sofa, and its depth will match the seating. These attributes allow for tucking the table neatly at the end of your sofa in order to provide an elevated surface between your seating and the wall. End tables are accent pieces — they’re a close cousin to side tables, but side tables, not unlike the show-stealing low-profile coffee table, are intended to be positioned prominently and have more to do with the flow and design of a room than an end table, which does a great job but does it out of the way of everything else.

    Find all kinds of antique and vintage tables on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    The main difference between a bistro table and a pub table is the size. A bistro table is usually around 28 to 36 inches tall, so you can sit at it with a standard dining chair. Often, people pair bistro chairs with bistro tables. A pub table is taller at around 40 to 44 inches and requires a pub-height chair or stool for comfortable seating. Find a variety of pub and bistro tables on 1stDibs.

    The difference between a billiard table and a pool table is primarily the size. The basic dimensions of a billiard table are usually 10’ by 5’, whereas a pool table is a relatively smaller structure, as they’re usually 3.5’ by 7’. An additional way that these tables differ from each other is the absence of pockets on the billiard table. Shop a range of billiard and pool tables on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023
    The main difference between a drawing table and a drafting table is adjustability.

  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    There are two differences between end tables and side tables: function and size. Typically, end tables go beside a chair or at opposite ends of a sofa and have smaller tabletops, while side tables go toward the sides of seating areas or against walls and feature a larger surface area. However, many people use the words side and end tables interchangeably, so these differences may not always apply. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of end and side tables.

    A pembroke table has one or two drop leaves that can be lifted to make it longer. The piece is  named for the noted architect Henry Herbert, 9th Earl of Pembroke.

  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 21, 2019

    A center table is usually circular and placed in the middle of a parlor or foyer, although they may appear elsewhere. They can be made of any material — including marble, glass, wood and lucite — and typically do not adhere to any particular style. Because of this variability, they are generally easy to position in a room.

    A gueridon is a small round table supported by one or several columns, which are either plain and simple or in the form of mythological creatures. The first gueridon tables appeared in France and were inspired by ancient Greek and Egyptian cultures.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024
    A tulip table is a dining table or occasional table of a certain shape. It’s typically characterized by a slender stem-like pedestal base and a round tabletop. Its name is drawn from the name given to chairs that are part of a collection that Finnish-American designer and architect Eero Saarinen created for iconic mid-century furniture manufacturer Knoll during the 1950s.

    The tables in Saarinen’s acclaimed series were called Pedestal tables, while the chairs were called Tulip chairs, armless or not, owing to their flower bulb-like shape. Today, design lovers everywhere frequently refer to Saarinen's Pedestal tables as tulip tables, and any table that looks like a Pedestal table is generally referred to as a tulip table, whether or not Saarinen had anything to do with it.

    1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    Demilune tables are shaped like semi-circles, which makes sense because demilune means “half moon” in French. They’re typically quite small, making them ideal for decoration in an entryway or living room.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024
