Shantivanna White Cocktail Table

A round design is often the superior choice for compact living spaces or urban apartments. The lack of sharp corners softens the room's lines and creates a more fluid traffic pattern, making it easier to navigate tight seating arrangements without bumping into edges. Its 34.5-inch diameter offers a substantial surface for entertaining while maintaining an open, airy feel that helps smaller rooms appear less cluttered.

To ensure a comfortable and functional living room layout, we recommend placing the table approximately 16 to 18 inches away from your sofa or sectional. Our styling guides suggest this distance provides the ideal balance: it offers enough legroom for guests to move easily while keeping the surface close enough to conveniently reach for a drink, remote, or book.

The round silhouette of this table makes it a safer alternative for households with toddlers or active pets, as it eliminates the safety hazards of sharp corners. While the natural marble top is heavy and durable, it does require a bit more maintenance than laminate or glass. For families, we recommend this piece for its safety-first design, provided parents are comfortable with the standard care required to protect a natural stone surface from spills.

This table features a naturally sourced white marble top, which is prized for its unique veining and elegance but is naturally porous. Based on our expertise with stone materials, we recommend dusting the surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For cleaning, use only a pH-neutral cleaner or mild soap and water; avoid acidic cleaners or harsh chemicals which can etch the stone. To prevent permanent staining from common household items like coffee, wine, or citrus, always use coasters and blot any spills immediately.

Design experts generally recommend that a cocktail table sits within 1 to 2 inches of your sofa's seat height for both aesthetic balance and functional reach. With an 18-inch height, this table aligns perfectly with most standard sofa cushions. To follow the "2/3 rule" for scale, this 34.5-inch wide table is most effectively paired with sofas that are approximately 50 to 60 inches long, though its circular footprint also makes it a versatile choice for anchoring the center of a large sectional.

This table is supported by three bold legs crafted from solid mango wood, a material highly regarded in the furniture industry for its exceptional durability and sustainability. Mango wood is a dense hardwood that provides a heavy-duty, stable foundation, ensuring the table remains secure even with the weight of a marble top. The rich brown finish highlights the wood's natural grain, adding a rustic warmth that enhances the overall transitional style of the piece.
