End Tables - Round, Square & Nesting Styles

An end table fills the empty space beside your sofa or chair. It gives you a spot for a lamp, drink, or remote, right where you need it.

Gooddegg carries end tables for living room spaces in round, square, oval, and nesting styles, from classic wood tables to modern side tables. Every table ships free.

What Is an End Table?

An end table is a small table placed next to a sofa or chair. It holds everyday items like a lamp, coasters, or a book within easy reach.

People also call these pieces side tables or accent end tables. Living room end tables come in many shapes and sizes, making it easy to match one to almost any layout.

Types of End Tables

Round End Tables

Round end tables soften a room with curved lines. They work well next to a chair where sharp corners get in the way. Oval end tables offer a similar soft shape with a bit more surface area.

The Fairfield Chair Westwood Round End Table offers a clean, simple round side table look. For a more detailed design, the Fairfield Chair Provence Round End Table adds carved wood accents, and the Fairfield Chair Revelation Oval End Table brings an oval shape to the same style family.

Square End Tables

Square end tables give a stable, classic look. They work well as a square side table, lining up neatly against a sofa arm or wall.

The Fairfield Chair Westwood Square End Table pairs a clean top with a sturdy wood base. The Fairfield Chair Belmont Square End Table adds a slightly more detailed frame.

Nesting End Tables

Nesting end tables, also called nesting side tables, stack in sets of two or three. Pull the smaller table out when you need extra surface space.

The Fairfield Chair Veneto Nesting End Table tucks neatly under a larger table when not in use, saving floor space in smaller rooms.

End Table Styles

Entry & Chairside Tables

Entry tables sit near a doorway for keys and mail. Chairside tables, sometimes called chairside end tables, sit right next to a favorite chair for small items.

The Fairfield Chair Belmont Entry Table works well in a hallway or foyer. The Fairfield Chair Park West Chairside Table fits snugly beside a reading chair.

Lamp & Accent Tables

Lamp tables sit taller to bring light closer to eye level. Accent tables, or accent end tables, round out a room with a decorative touch. Many of these styles also work as modern end tables or contemporary end tables in updated spaces.

The Fairfield Chair Edgewood Lamp Table is built for holding a table lamp at the right height. The Fairfield Chair Belmont Accent Table adds a decorative, modern end table option for any corner.

Materials & Finishes

Wood End Tables

Wood end tables, or wooden end tables, bring warmth and a natural look to any room. Most Fairfield Chair tables use solid wood construction for lasting durability.

The Fairfield Chair Wyatt End Table in Oak shows off natural oak grain with a classic finish.

Stone Top End Tables

Stone top end tables add texture and a cool, solid surface. They stand up well to daily use and add a bit of contrast to a room.

The Fairfield Chair Parker End Table w/Stone Top pairs a stone top with a sturdy wood base.

Choosing the Right End Table

Start with function. If you need extra storage, look for an end table with storage or an end table with drawers, like the Fairfield Chair Expedition 2 Drawer End Table. Storage end tables like this work well for remotes, coasters, or extra blankets.

Next, think about shape. Round tables soften a room, while square tables fit neatly along a wall or sofa arm.

Finally, match your finish to existing furniture. Wood tables suit a traditional look, while stone-top tables add contrast to modern rooms. A sofa side table or couch side table in a lighter wood tone works well in bright, contemporary spaces.

Size & Dimensions Guide

Most end tables sit close to sofa arm height, usually between 22 and 26 inches tall. This keeps drinks and lamps within easy reach while seated.

Small end tables work well in tight spaces or apartments. Larger tables, like entry tables, offer more surface area for keys, mail, or decor.

End Tables for Different Spaces

Living Room - Round or square end tables for living room use sit beside a sofa or chair for everyday use. Living room side tables and sofa side tables both work well here.

Entryway - Entry tables give guests a spot to drop keys and mail near the door.

Bedroom - Chairside tables work well next to a reading chair or accent seat.
