Brendleton Brown 24 in. Cocktail Table

Absolutely. A round table is highly effective in compact spaces because its lack of sharp corners improves traffic flow and prevents the room from feeling cramped. With a 24-inch diameter, this piece provides an essential surface area for entertaining without overwhelming a smaller footprint, making it an ideal choice for urban apartment living or cozy seating nooks.

To create a balanced look on a 24-inch surface, we suggest using the "rule of thirds." Group a few items of varying heights—such as a small stack of books, a candle, and a low tray—to add visual interest without overcrowding the top. Because this table features a contemporary industrial flair, metallic accents or natural textures like a small potted plant will complement the natural brown finish and metal frame beautifully.

The combination of a wood top and a metal frame is a hallmark of industrial-inspired durability. The sturdy metal base with straight legs provides a rigid, stable foundation, while the natural brown wood top offers a resilient and classic surface. This mixed-material construction is engineered to withstand the daily rigors of a high-traffic living area, from hosting social gatherings to serving as a resting spot for snacks and drinks.

For optimal comfort and aesthetics, a cocktail table should typically sit 1 to 2 inches lower than the seat cushions of your sofa. Standing at 16 inches tall, this table provides a low-profile, contemporary silhouette that remains easily accessible while seated. This height is particularly well-suited for the modern, low-slung seating arrangements often found in contemporary urban homes.

Round furniture is frequently recommended by design experts for families with toddlers and pets. Because this table features a smooth, circular top without sharp corners, it significantly reduces the risk of bumps or bruises as children move around the living area. Additionally, the straight metal legs provide a stable support system that offers reliable ground contact.

This piece is designed for straightforward customer assembly. While our full-service delivery includes setup for many larger items, this specific table is intended for quick home setup. The included instructions guide you through securing the metal legs to the round frame, allowing you to have your industrial-contemporary centerpiece ready for use in a short amount of time.

Based on our furniture care expertise, we recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the natural brown finish. For minor spills on the wood top, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water, immediately followed by a dry cloth to prevent moisture damage. Our guides recommend avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or abrasives on the metal base to preserve the integrity of the finish over time.
