Side Tables
Similar to end tables in size, side tables are smaller, lower tables designed for use next to your living room's seating areas. Unlike end tables, however, side tables can be used one at a time rather than in pairs.
Side tables today are constructed from virtually any material; classic tables are elegantly crafted from rich woods while modern tables strike clever balances with glass and steel.
Many side tables feature a drawer in their top apron or at the base for storage; shelves are also sometimes placed at the table's base.
Some side tables are cabinet- and chest-like with doors or hinged tops, which makes them perfect for keeping small board games, books, and magazines in their right place and out of sight.
