End Tables
These small, often overlooked tables are indispensable servants. Placed next to sofas and chairs, they hold lamps, drinks, ashtrays, books and magazines, vases of flowers, knickknacks, remote controls - all the paraphernalia of everyday living.
End tables are sold in countless sizes, shapes and styles. Some have drawers or shelves. Typical heights are 23 to 27 in. Choose a height that's about even with the sofa or chair arm for a comfortable reach.
