While the next 5 are over $200, we didn’t go crazy because who has
a thousand dollars to spend on end tables?
The Tana Stool from Article is made from Teak and can work as
either a table or stool…even outside! This would work perfectly in a boho and
California cool vibe. If used outside, the “Tana’s teak will develop a
beautiful silver patina over time, and small cracks will appear in line with
the wood’s natural grain. These cracks are perfectly normal and bring a
delicate wabi-sabi to the Tana’s strong design.” Ok so I am not going to lie, I
had to look up “wabi-sabi” and here is what the internet said “In traditional
Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi is a world view centered on the acceptance of
transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of
beauty that is “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete.” I love that.

I am totally digging the Ephratah 2 Piece Nesting Tables
from Brayden studio available on Wayfair.com. These nesting tables are made from reclaimed Elmwood
in a lovely pattern with metal legs. Nesting tables are a great option if you
are tight on space. Keep them together on a day to day basis and pull out the
bottom table when guests come over for additional surface for drinks and apps.

A sleek option from West Elm is the Streamline Side Table

plenty of great options for under a $200 price point and even more in the
$200-$300 range.
Before buying your end table, ensure it is the right
dimensions for your couch or chair. Wayfair
actually offers a helpful guide and I’ve included their guidance below:
Height
End tables should be within two inches of a sofa’s arm
height. For example, if the sofa’s arm is 22″ tall, a proper end table can
be anywhere from 20″ – 24″ tall. Can’t find the right end table
height for your room? Go shorter rather than taller for a more comfortable
experience.
Width
The average width of an end table is between 16″ –
22″. When deciding on a side table, be sure yours has a surface wide
enough to hold any desired items, like books, plants, or lamps. Additionally,
leave a few inches between the end table and sofa.
Depth
The ideal depth of an end table is equal to the depth of the
sofa or chair it’s placed next to. It should not exceed the sofa’s depth.
Tip
The bottom of a lampshade shouldn’t fall higher than eye
level when you’re seated on the sofa or chair that’s placed next to the lamp
