How Much are Used Sofa Tables?
Finding the Right Sofa Tables for You
Taller than a coffee table and more elongated and narrow, a sofa table is designed to nestle against the back of a sofa. One-of-a-kind antique, vintage and new sofa tables make a statement while also dividing the room or displaying decorative objects.
Sofa tables are similar to Pembroke tables, which emerged in the 18th century but were positioned in front of the sofa for serving tea or playing cards. The popular furnishing now comes in a range of styles.
Rustic living areas can incorporate natural wood sofa tables that complement the space. Brutalist sofa tables combine organic materials with a distinctly contemporary edge to contrast city and country styles. Scandinavian modern sofa tables offer a sleeker aesthetic. These wooden pieces often have simple designs and few embellishments, with angular lines and experimental structures that enhance any living room.
Notably, minimalist sofa tables frequently feature slightly slimmer profiles. Instead of consisting primarily of wood, these tables are often made of luxurious granite, gleaming brass or lightweight aluminum.
