Westella Pecan Cocktail Table

To achieve a balanced look, we recommend following the "two-thirds rule," where the table is approximately two-thirds the length of your sofa. With a width of 48 inches, this cocktail table is an ideal companion for standard-sized sofas ranging from 72 to 84 inches. Additionally, its 17-inch height is designed to sit level with or slightly below most standard seat cushions, ensuring comfortable access to items on the surface.

Yes, its rectangular 48" x 24" footprint is particularly well-suited for narrow layouts or "galley" style living rooms. Unlike bulky square tables that can obstruct traffic flow, this slender design provides ample surface area while maintaining a clear walking path. The open lower shelf also helps maintain a sense of "visual lightness," preventing the furniture from making a compact room feel crowded.

The lower shelf provides essential secondary storage, which is a major advantage for maintaining a clutter-free environment. It offers a dedicated space for magazines, tablets, or remote controls, allowing you to keep the off-white tabletop clear for decor or drinks. This tiered design is particularly helpful for busy households that need to balance daily utility with a polished, organized appearance.

Based on our expertise in furniture maintenance, we recommend dusting the table regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For spills or stains on either the pecan-finished shelf or the off-white top, use a cloth slightly dampened with mild soap and water, then wipe dry immediately. It is important to avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads, as these can strip the finish and dull the table's classic luster over time.

This piece serves as a bridge between classic retro aesthetics and modern freshness. The signature tapered legs and clean rectangular silhouette are hallmarks of mid-century design, while the high-contrast pairing of an off-white top with a warm pecan finish adds a contemporary edge. This versatile look allows it to anchor a variety of decor styles, from minimalist urban lofts to eclectic suburban family rooms.

This item is designed for straightforward customer assembly. All necessary hardware and clear instructions are included to help you secure the tapered legs and the lower shelf to the main frame. For the best results and to protect the off-white finish during setup, we recommend assembling the table on a soft, carpeted surface or using the shipping carton as a protective barrier.
