Saunier III Walnut Cocktail Table

A triangle cocktail table is a strategic alternative to traditional rectangular or square designs. The softened, rounded corners of this contemporary silhouette offer a safer environment for households with toddlers or pets compared to sharp-edged furniture. Additionally, the unique three-sided footprint allows for better traffic flow in high-traffic areas or smaller rooms where a bulkier table might obstruct movement.

This specific cocktail table requires customer assembly. It is designed for straightforward setup, featuring high-quality components like the tapered legs and walnut-finished base. Because this item falls under our "occasional tables" category, please note that assembly is not included with our standard delivery services; however, the contemporary design is engineered for a precise fit and long-term stability once assembled.

To preserve the distinct walnut finish and clear glass top, our care guidelines suggest a dual approach. For the glass surface, use a standard glass cleaner applied to a microfiber cloth to prevent streaks and remove fingerprints. For the walnut base, simply dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. We recommend using coasters with felt or cork bottoms to protect the wood from moisture and heat, ensuring the warm walnut grain remains mesmerizing for years.

Yes, a triangle cocktail table is particularly effective when paired with L-shaped sectionals. While rectangular tables often leave "dead space" in the corner of a sectional, the Saunier III's unique shape can be tucked closer into the seating nook, ensuring every guest has a convenient surface for drinks or snacks without overfilling the center of the room.

For residents in compact spaces, a glass-top cocktail table is highly recommended by design experts. The clear glass surface provides "visual airiness," allowing the eye to see through the piece rather than being blocked by a solid surface. This creates an illusion of a more open, expansive room. The inclusion of tapered legs also keeps more of the floor visible, which further helps a small living area feel less crowded.

Proportions are essential for both comfort and design. This table stands at 15.5 inches tall, which aligns perfectly with modern furniture standards—ideally, your table should be one to two inches lower than your sofa's seat cushions. Measuring 35.5 inches in width, it follows the "2/3 rule" of interior design, making it a well-balanced anchor for sofas ranging from 55 to 75 inches in length.
