Sedalia Merlot Chairside Table

While standard end tables are often wider and more square, a chairside table like this one is specifically designed with a slimmer profile. With a narrow 12-inch width, it is engineered to provide a functional surface for a lamp or drink in tight spaces between seating or against a wall, where a traditional end table would be too bulky.

Yes, its slim 12"w x 26"l footprint makes it an excellent choice for urban apartment living or cozy reading nooks. Its "rectangle" shape and straight legs allow it to sit flush against a chair or sofa, maximizing your floor space while providing a dedicated surface for remotes, books, or beverages.

This table is crafted with high-quality birch veneers over a solid core, a construction method that offers the authentic grain and beauty of natural wood while providing superior resistance to warping and cracking—especially in climates with varying humidity. The rich merlot finish is a deep, dark wood tone that adds a sophisticated, authoritative presence to transitional decor.

In addition to the tabletop, this design features a built-in lower shelf that effectively doubles your usable surface area. This shelf is an ideal spot for organizing magazines, tablets, or decorative bins, helping to keep your main surface clutter-free and keeping your living area organized.

Based on our expertise in furniture care, we recommend dusting the birch veneers regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to prevent buildup. For occasional spills, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water, but avoid harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes that can degrade the integrity of the finish over time.

To ensure ergonomic comfort and visual balance, the surface of your table should ideally sit within two inches of your chair's armrest. Standing at 24 inches tall, this table is sized to pair perfectly with most standard transitional armchairs and recliners, allowing for easy access to your essentials without reaching up or down.

This item requires partial assembly upon delivery. As part of our commitment to quality, the legs and lower shelf are designed for a straightforward setup process. Please note that while our full-service delivery teams handle many items, occasional tables like this one typically require owner assembly to ensure they are fitted perfectly into your specific space.
