Somersby Black Cocktail Table

To ensure both accessibility and easy movement, you should place your cocktail table approximately 16 to 18 inches away from your sofa or chairs. This distance is the industry standard for allowing enough legroom to sit comfortably while keeping the surface within easy reach for drinks, remotes, or books.

Round cocktail tables are highly effective for improving traffic flow in a living room, as they lack sharp corners that can obstruct movement. This shape is especially beneficial when paired with an L-shaped sectional or in homes with compact floor plans, such as urban apartments. The 32-inch round design of this piece helps "soften" the room's lines while providing a centralized surface that is easily accessible from all seating angles.

Because marble is a natural, porous stone, it requires specific care to maintain its elegant appearance. Based on our material expertise, we recommend dusting the surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For spills, use only mild soap and water, avoiding acidic or abrasive cleaners that can etch the stone. To prevent water rings or heat damage from beverages, always use coasters or trivets.

For a comfortable and functional layout, a cocktail table should generally be within one to two inches of your sofa's seat height. This table stands at 18 inches tall, making it a perfect match for most standard upholstered seating. Regarding scale, it is recommended that the table length be approximately two-thirds the length of your sofa. With a 32-inch diameter, this piece is particularly well-suited for standard sofas or smaller seating arrangements where a larger rectangular table might feel overwhelming.

This table features a base crafted from solid Mango wood, a material prized in high-quality furniture for its exceptional durability and dense grain patterns. Unlike engineered woods, solid Mango wood offers superior structural integrity and longevity. The medium natural finish applied to this base highlights the wood's organic character, providing a sturdy and visually warm contrast to the black marble top.

This table is a strong choice for active households due to its solid wood and genuine stone construction, which are inherently more durable than glass or veneered alternatives. Furthermore, the round silhouette is a safer design for homes with toddlers, as it eliminates the sharp edges found on square or rectangular tables. While the marble top is highly durable, we suggest prompt cleanup of spills to protect the natural stone from staining.
