Sanger Gray Square Cocktail Table

Choosing the right scale is essential for both function and flow. Interior design experts typically suggest that a table should be approximately two-thirds the length of your sofa. This 42-inch square table is a substantial choice, making it an ideal anchor for larger sectionals or U-shaped seating arrangements where a rectangular table might leave some seats out of reach. At 19 inches tall, it sits at a height that aligns with the seat cushions of most contemporary sofas, ensuring easy access to drinks and décor.

While rectangular tables often fit better in narrow walk-paths, a square table excels at creating a sense of balance in open-concept or square-shaped living areas. This table features a strategic "open frame" design; the visibility through the base prevents the piece from feeling heavy or "blocking" the room visually. This helps maintain an airy, uncluttered feel in smaller urban spaces while still providing a larger-than-average surface area for entertaining.

This piece is expertly crafted using natural materials and high-quality mahogany veneers, which are prized in furniture making for their rich grain and long-term stability. The tabletop is finished in a versatile gray, while the straight, open-frame legs feature an antique finish that adds character. Mahogany is a preferred material due to its natural resistance to warping and shrinking, providing a durable surface that can withstand the daily use of a busy household.

Based on our furniture care expertise, we recommend dusting the surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent debris from dulling the finish. For deeper cleaning, use a cloth lightly dampened with mild soap and water, immediately following with a dry towel to prevent water rings or moisture damage. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads, as these can strip the veneer or damage the unique antique finish of the legs.

For families, wood and veneer tables are often a safer and more practical alternative to glass, as they eliminate the risk of shattering and are more resilient against impact from toys or pet activity. The gray finish on this mahogany veneer is also more forgiving with fingerprints and smudges than a transparent glass top. Given its sturdy natural material construction and straight legs, it provides a stable, reliable surface for high-traffic family rooms.

Per our standard delivery guidelines, while our full-service delivery team handles most heavy lifting, occasional pieces like cocktail tables are typically excluded from driver assembly. This allows the item to be shipped more securely. The table includes clear instructions and uses a straight-leg, open-frame design that is straightforward to put together, ensuring the antique-finished legs are perfectly aligned for a stable, contemporary look.
