Cedar Creek Brown Sofa Table

This table is constructed with birch veneers and features an intentional distressed finish, which is highly practical for active households. The natural variation in the wood grain combined with the distressed styling helps to camouflage minor nicks or scuffs that can occur in high-traffic areas. To keep the finish looking its best, our care guidelines recommend regular dusting with a soft cloth and using only mild soap and water for spot cleaning.

For a balanced look, your sofa table should be roughly the same height as the back of your couch or slightly lower. This table stands at 30 inches tall, making it a versatile match for many standard sofa heights. In terms of length, the 48-inch span of this piece works best behind sofas that are at least 60 to 72 inches long, following the expert guideline that a table should cover about two-thirds of the sofa's total length to maintain visual proportion.

To preserve the rich brown finish of the birch veneers, it is best to avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasives. We recommend using coasters for all beverages and felt pads under any heavy or sharp-edged decorative objects. Because wood veneers can be sensitive to extreme moisture, always blot spills immediately with a dry, soft cloth to prevent the surface from clouding or lifting.

With a depth of only 18 inches, this table is an excellent solution for space-constrained environments. Its slim, rectangular profile allows it to fit comfortably in narrow hallways or entryways without obstructing foot traffic. The angled leg design provides a stable foundation while maintaining an "open" look, which helps smaller rooms feel airier and less cluttered.

The two lower display shelves offer a great opportunity to add personality to your living room. We recommend a "layered" approach: place heavier items like woven storage baskets or large art books on the bottom shelf to ground the piece, and use the middle shelf for medium-height accents like trays or decorative bowls. To achieve a professional look, ensure you leave some "negative space" between items to avoid a cluttered appearance.

While these terms are often used interchangeably, a sofa table is specifically designed to sit behind a "floating" couch to define a seating area in open-concept layouts. This 48-inch wide table is perfectly scaled for that purpose, helping to hide the back of the sofa and provide a surface for lamps. However, its classic 30-inch height and rectangular shape also make it suitable for use as a traditional console table against a wall or beneath a wall-mounted television.
