Frequently Asked Questions
A console table is a slim, narrow table designed to sit against a wall or behind a sofa. In a hallway, it's a handy spot for keys, post and a lamp. Behind a sofa, it gives you somewhere to put drinks and books and helps define the living space. You can also use one as a dressing table, a slim desk, or a stylish place to display ornaments and plants.
Let your sofa guide you:
- Rectangular coffee tables suit standard 2 and 3 seater sofas. They follow the line of the sofa and keep everything within easy reach.
- Round tables are a good choice for corner sofas and smaller rooms. With no sharp corners, they're easy to move around and are a good choice for homes with little ones.
- Square tables work well with large corner sofas, filling the space in front of both sides.
- Oval tables offer the length of a rectangle with the softer edges of a round table.
As a rule of thumb, choose a coffee table about two-thirds the length of your sofa.
A side table should sit roughly level with the arm of your sofa or armchair, or just slightly lower, so you can reach your cup or book without stretching. For most sofas and chairs, that means a table between 50cm and 65cm high. Measure the arm height of your seat before you buy, and check the dimensions on each product page to find the right fit.
