University of Nebraska Side Table

Absolutely. A C-shaped design is one of the most effective space-saving solutions for compact living. The base is engineered to slide directly under your couch or chair, bringing the tabletop closer to you while keeping the floor footprint to a minimum. This makes it a perfect companion for narrow urban apartments or cozy study nooks where traditional, bulky end tables might block walking paths.

This side table stands 24 inches high, which is an ideal height for most standard sofas and armchairs. As a general rule of thumb for both aesthetics and functional ease, an end table should ideally be within two inches of your sofa's arm height. Its 18" x 12" rectangular surface provides ample room for a laptop or snacks without overwhelming your seating area.

Yes, the 18-inch width and 24-inch height make this an excellent mobile workstation for a laptop or tablet. The C-shaped leg style allows you to pull the table surface directly over your lap while seated, providing a stable and ergonomic surface for working, browsing, or gaming from the comfort of your sofa or favorite accent chair.

Yes, this model features a built-in lower shelf, providing a dedicated spot to organize magazines, remotes, or tablets. While it is designed without drawers to maintain a sleek and modern transitional profile, the open shelf ensures your essentials remain easily accessible while keeping the main surface clear for your devices or decor.

Customer assembly is required for this piece. It is designed for a straightforward setup and includes all necessary hardware. Our experts recommend assembling the table on a soft surface, such as a rug or the flattened shipping box, to protect the black finish and the laser-etched detailing during the assembly process.

To maintain the crisp detail of the laser-etched logo and the integrity of the black finish, we recommend dusting the surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Based on our furniture maintenance expertise, you should avoid harsh chemical cleaners which can dull the finish over time. Using coasters for beverages is a hallmark of good furniture care and will help prevent water rings, preserving the table’s appearance for years of game-day celebrations.
