End Tables

Ancient Egyptians constructed and used history's first tables. All rudimentary, most were simple stone platforms not used primarily for eating or even serving food, rather, Egyptians used their tables for organization and their smaller tables for playing purposes.

With that in mind, our ancient ancestors probably had some version of our modern end table. Utilized in our living spaces for storage and small servings such as beverages, end tables are small in size and stature and typically used in pairs at each end of a living room sofa.

Some end tables have drawers or doors for storage areas while others have simple, flat tops and open shelves below. Contemporary end tables are part of a larger classification of occasional tables, which includes coffee, sofa, and lamp tables.
