Coffee Tables and Side Tables at RB12

This category covers the tables that sit around and beside the sofa: coffee tables for the centre of the room, side tables for the arm of an armchair or the end of a sofa run, and a smaller group of pedestal and occasional pieces that work as either. RB12 stocks 211 pieces across Scandinavian and Italian brands, from lacquered pedestal tables to woven outdoor-grade designs that also suit a covered terrace.

Because these tables are used daily, for drinks, books, remote controls and laptops, the practical questions matter as much as the finish: how big, how high relative to the seat, and what the top is made from. The sections below go through those choices brand by brand and shape by shape.

Choosing the Right Size and Placement

A coffee table works best when its top sits close to the height of the sofa seat cushion, or slightly below it, so drinks and plates are easy to reach without leaning up. Leave enough clearance around the table for people to walk past comfortably, and in front of the sofa for legs to stretch out; a table that is too large for the space will make the seating area feel cramped even if the sofa itself has room to spare.

Side tables sit next to an armchair or at the end of a sofa, generally close to arm height so a drink or book is within easy reach without a stretch. In a smaller room, a round or oval top such as the Bolia Mix Oval Coffee Table reads lighter than a large rectangular slab, since there are no sharp corners to navigate around.

Pairs and sets, such as the Blomus Fera Set of 2 Side Table, give you the flexibility to split a large surface into two smaller ones, which is useful either side of a sofa or nested together when the space is needed for something else.

Materials and Finishes

Tops and bases come in stone, lacquered wood, metal and woven synthetic fibre, plus mixed constructions that pair a stone or ceramic top with a metal or wood base. Stone and ceramic tops resist heat and spills well and are simple to wipe down, while lacquered wood offers a smoother, warmer surface that should be protected from prolonged direct sun and standing liquid.

Metal bases, whether in a slim pedestal form like the Blomus Fera Pedestal Table or a more sculptural shape, tend to be the most durable element of a table and rarely need more than an occasional dust or wipe. Woven and outdoor-oriented tables, such as those from Cane-line, are built to cope with the more variable conditions of a terrace or conservatory, which also makes them a practical choice for households with children or pets indoors.

Coffee Tables vs Side Tables vs Pedestal Tables

A coffee table is the main table in a seating area, usually positioned centrally in front of a sofa or between facing armchairs, and sized to be shared by everyone sitting nearby. Side tables are smaller and more numerous through a room, typically one per armchair or sofa end, and prioritise a compact footprint over generous surface area.

Pedestal tables, like the Blomus Fera pedestal design, use a single central base rather than three or four legs, which frees up floor space underneath and gives a lighter visual footprint in a smaller room. Some pieces, such as the Cane-line Nest Coffee Table/Footstool, double as extra seating or a footrest, which is worth considering if the room needs to flex between everyday use and hosting more people.

Notable Designs in This Collection

The Ethimo Knit Rectangular Coffee Table pairs a woven base with a rectangular top, suited to a longer sofa run where a round table would leave awkward gaps at each end. The Warm Nordic Surfboard Coffee Table takes an elongated shape that works well in front of a longer sofa or as a low centrepiece in an open-plan living space.

For a rounder profile, the Cane-line Scale Coffee Table and the 101 Copenhagen Ishi Coffee Table both use a more sculptural, low-slung form that suits a room built around softer, curved seating. Nova Nook's range, including the Nova Nook Bizarro Coffee Table, gives a wider choice of sizes within one design language if you want matching pieces across a coffee table and one or two side tables.

Building the Room Around It

Coffee and side tables are rarely chosen in isolation; they sit alongside the sofa and armchairs that define the seating area, and often near an ottoman or pouffe used for extra footrest space. A rug underneath, from RB12's rugs range, helps anchor the grouping and gives a visual boundary for how far the table should sit from the seating.

If the same room needs a reading corner, a floor lamp positioned beside a side table adds task lighting without competing for surface space, while a low sideboard along a wall can carry the larger decorative pieces that would otherwise crowd the coffee table.

Shop Coffee Tables and Side Tables at RB12

RB12 stocks coffee tables and side tables from Nova Nook, Ethimo, AYTM, Bolia, Miniforms, Custom Form, Saba Italia, Snapp, Tamo Design, Gervasoni, Cane-line, Blomus, 101 Copenhagen, Northern and Design House Stockholm, spanning lacquered wood, stone, ceramic, metal and woven finishes across 211 products.

Coffee Tables & Side Tables – frequently asked questions

What height should a coffee table be relative to the sofa?

A coffee table generally works best level with, or slightly below, the sofa seat cushion so that drinks and plates are easy to reach without leaning up. If the sofa has particularly deep or soft cushions, sitting a little lower is usually more comfortable.

How much space should I leave around a coffee table?

Leave enough room for people to walk around the table comfortably, and enough clearance in front of the sofa for legs to stretch out without touching it. In a smaller room, a round or oval top tends to leave more usable floor space than a large rectangular one.

What is the difference between a coffee table and a side table?

A coffee table is the main, larger table positioned in front of a sofa or between armchairs and shared by everyone seated nearby. A side table is smaller, usually placed next to a single armchair or at the end of a sofa, closer to arm height.

Can a side table be used as a bedside table?

Yes, many side tables work equally well next to a bed, provided the height suits reaching over from the mattress. RB12 also has a dedicated range of bedside tables if you want a design built specifically for that purpose.

What materials are RB12's coffee tables made from?

The collection includes stone, ceramic, lacquered wood, metal and woven synthetic fibre, plus mixed designs that combine a stone or ceramic top with a metal or wood base. Woven, outdoor-oriented pieces from brands like Cane-line also suit indoor use for households wanting a durable, low-maintenance surface.

How do I care for a lacquered wood coffee table?

Wipe up spills promptly and avoid leaving the table in prolonged direct sunlight, which can affect the lacquer finish over time. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth for regular cleaning rather than abrasive products.

Are stone or ceramic coffee table tops easy to maintain?

Stone and ceramic tops are generally simple to wipe down and resist heat well, making them a practical choice for daily use. They are less prone to marking from cups or dishes than untreated wood surfaces.

What shape coffee table suits a long sofa?

A rectangular or elongated table, such as the Ethimo Knit Rectangular Coffee Table or the Warm Nordic Surfboard Coffee Table, tends to suit a longer sofa run better than a round table, which can leave noticeable gaps at each end.

Does RB12 sell matching sets of coffee and side tables?

Yes, several ranges, including Nova Nook's collection, offer coffee tables and side tables within the same design language and multiple sizes, making it possible to furnish a full seating area with a consistent look.

Can a coffee table double as extra seating or a footstool?

Some designs, such as the Cane-line Nest Coffee Table/Footstool, are built to work as both a table and a footrest or extra seat, which is useful in rooms that need to flex for guests.

What size coffee table suits a small living room?

In a compact room, a smaller round or oval table, or a pedestal design with a single central base, tends to leave more clear floor space than a large rectangular table with four legs.

Does RB12 sell coffee tables suited to outdoor or covered spaces?

Yes, brands such as Cane-line and Ethimo make coffee tables using woven and weather-resistant materials that suit a terrace or conservatory as well as an indoor living room; RB12 also has a dedicated outdoor coffee tables category.

How many side tables does a living room typically need?

Most living rooms use one side table per armchair or at each end of a sofa, in addition to a single central coffee table, though this depends on how much surface space the seating area needs.

What should I put under a coffee table?

A rug is a common choice, helping to visually anchor the seating area and define how far the table should sit from the sofa and armchairs around it.

How do I clean a woven synthetic fibre table?

A soft brush or damp cloth is usually enough to keep woven synthetic fibre tables clean, and their construction is generally more forgiving of moisture than untreated wood, making them a practical option for busy households.
