Jessee II Light Brown Sofa Table

Proportionality is key when selecting a table for the space behind your couch. Ideally, the table should be the same height as or slightly lower than the sofa's back—this 24-inch tall model is designed to sit discreetly behind most standard sofa frames. Regarding length, a common designer guideline is the "two-thirds rule," meaning the table should cover about two-thirds of the sofa's total length. At 71 inches wide, this piece is an excellent scale for larger sofas and sectionals, providing ample surface area without overwhelming the furniture it accompanies.

Absolutely. This table is specifically engineered for space-conscious living, featuring an exceptionally slim 14-inch depth. This narrow profile makes it a "small-space hero," fitting comfortably in tight urban apartment hallways or behind a sofa without obstructing walkways. Despite its slender footprint, the 71-inch width and two-tiered shelf design offer significant vertical storage and display space for lamps, books, or decor.

While the terms are often used interchangeably, the distinction usually lies in the intended placement and dimensions. A sofa table is typically designed with a height that complements the back of a couch and a length that mirrors its scale. A console table is more of a "utility" piece often found in entryways or against walls. Because of its 24-inch height and 71-inch width, this specific table is optimized as a sofa table, though its slim 14-inch depth also makes it a highly effective console for narrow foyers.

In large, open-concept floor plans, furniture is often used to create "rooms" without the need for walls. A wide table like this one serves as a strategic visual boundary when placed behind a "floating" sofa (a couch not placed against a wall). By adding this 71-inch wide anchor, you effectively separate the living area from a dining or kitchen zone, while the two shelves provide a place to style decor that ties both spaces together.

Furniture built with a steel frame, like this table, is prized for its industrial-strength durability and ease of maintenance. Based on our material care expertise, we recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth to prevent buildup. For deeper cleaning, a simple solution of mild soap and warm water is sufficient to keep the straight steel legs looking pristine. To protect the finish, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents which can strip the protective coating over time.

Yes, customer assembly is required for this item. To ensure a smooth setup and protect your flooring, our experts recommend unboxing and assembling the pieces on a soft surface, such as a rug or a large towel. This prevents the steel frame or the light brown surfaces from scratching hardwood or tile floors during the process. Because this is a wider 71-inch piece, having a second person assist with stabilization during assembly can be helpful.
