Prospect Heights Brown Cherry Finish Sofa Table

For a balanced and professional look, a sofa table should be level with or slightly lower than the back of your sofa. Standing at 29 inches tall, this table is designed to complement most standard-height sofas. This height ensures that decorative lamps or drinks are easily accessible while maintaining a clean silhouette that doesn't obstruct sightlines in your living room.

This piece is built for long-term stability using a combination of a sturdy metal frame and a weighted base. The metal arms are notably more resistant to scratches and wear than softer wood frames, making them a practical choice for homes with active pets. For the tabletop, which features refined elm veneers in a brown cherry finish, we recommend using coasters and felt pads on decorative items to maintain the wood’s integrity and prevent surface rings or scuffs.

While these terms are frequently used interchangeably, the primary difference is their placement. A sofa table is typically designed with a specific height to sit behind a couch, while a console table is a versatile accent piece for entryways or hallways. This 48.5-inch oval table excels in both roles; its airy "floating tabletop" design and dual storage shelves make it equally effective as a visual anchor behind a floating sofa or as a sophisticated focal point in a narrow foyer.

In open-concept suburban homes, a sofa table is an essential tool for creating "zones" without the need for walls. The unique sunburst design and open bowl-shaped base of this piece provide a clear visual boundary that separates the living area from the dining or kitchen zones. Because of its airy construction, it defines the space while preserving the open, connected feel of the room.

Based on our expertise with mixed-material furniture, we recommend dusting the elm veneer surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent buildup. For the light gold metal frame, a simple wipe-down with a damp cloth is sufficient to maintain its luster. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads, as these can strip the protective finish or dull the gold metal plating over time.

The oval shape is a strategic choice for high-traffic areas or smaller floor plans. Unlike traditional rectangular tables, the rounded edges of this 18.5-inch deep table allow for much smoother movement through walkways. This "soft edge" design helps prevent accidental bumps in tight spaces and creates a more organic, flowy feel in your home's layout.
