Geisen Black Cocktail Table

To preserve the dramatic black finish and the tactile, ridged surface of the base, our experts recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a cloth slightly dampened with mild soap and water, followed immediately by a dry wipe to prevent moisture from settling in the ridges. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads, which can dull the finish or damage the floating tabletop's unique textural dimension.

A pedestal base, like the one featured on this hourglass-inspired piece, offers significant functional benefits by maximizing legroom and improving traffic flow around the seating area. Unlike traditional four-legged designs, the central support eliminates corner obstructions, making it much easier to navigate in tight layouts. The architectural ridged base also adds a layer of visual texture and movement that anchors a room without the "heavy" look of a solid block table.

For a balanced look, we recommend following the "2/3 rule," where the table's width is approximately two-thirds the length of your sofa. This 30-inch round table is an ideal scale for standard sofas and smaller sectionals. Additionally, for optimal comfort, the 15-inch height sits just below most standard seat cushions, ensuring easy access to drinks and decor while maintaining a low-profile, contemporary aesthetic.

This table is an excellent choice for safety-conscious families. The round shape eliminates the sharp edges and corners found on rectangular tables, significantly reducing the risk of bumps or bruises for active toddlers. While the "moody" black finish is practical for hiding minor wear, the ridged base and textured tabletop provide a durable, sensorial surface that holds up well to daily interaction.

Absolutely. A round silhouette is one of the most effective ways to make a small room feel more expansive. The lack of sharp corners softens the room's lines and prevents the space from feeling "boxed in." At 30 inches in diameter, this table provides a generous surface area for social settings while its compact footprint allows for 16 to 18 inches of clearance between the table and the sofa—the ideal distance for comfortable movement in an urban apartment or smaller home.

This piece is designed for efficient transit and requires customer assembly. Following our structured assembly process ensures the structural integrity of the hourglass form and the stability of the pedestal base. We recommend assembling the table on a soft, carpeted surface or using the provided packaging to protect the black finish during the setup process.
