Zandra Gray Cocktail Table

Based on our living room layout guidelines, we recommend placing the table approximately 16 to 18 inches away from the edge of your sofa or sectional. This distance provides ample legroom for guests while ensuring the surface remains easily accessible for everyone seated. For homes with reclining furniture, ensure you leave enough clearance for the footrests to extend fully without obstruction.

To highlight the modern aesthetic, our design team suggests a minimalist approach using the "rule of thirds." Arrange decor in three distinct clusters—such as a stack of books, a textured ceramic bowl, and a metallic accent that echoes the silver legs. For a cohesive look, pair this table with neutral tones like beige or taupe, or introduce a "pop" of color with navy or emerald green accessories to contrast against the refined gray finish.

This table utilizes high-quality walnut veneers, which offer the rich grain and warmth of solid wood while providing enhanced resistance to the warping or cracking that can occur with temperature and humidity changes. To protect the sophisticated gray finish, we recommend using coasters for all beverages. Our furniture care experts suggest regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth and using only mild soap and water for spot cleaning to avoid damaging the finish with harsh chemicals.

The striking geometric shape of the legs isn't just a style choice; it creates a wide and sturdy footprint that anchors the 50-inch tabletop. Built from high-quality metal with a silver finish, the base provides a robust and wobble-free foundation. This makes the table a reliable choice for holding heavier items like large-format art books or a full serving tray during social gatherings.

To ensure a balanced look, we recommend following the "2/3 rule," where the table is approximately two-thirds the length of your sofa. With a 50-inch length, this piece is an ideal match for sofas ranging from 72 to 84 inches long. Additionally, its 18.5-inch height is designed to sit nearly level with standard sofa cushions, providing a comfortable and ergonomic reach for drinks or decorative items.

While this table offers a generous 50-inch surface area, its contemporary geometric design is specifically engineered for "visual lightness." The open, silver-finished metal legs allow more of your floor or rug to remain visible. This airy structure prevents the piece from feeling like a heavy block, making it an excellent choice for maintaining a sense of openness in smaller or narrower floor plans.
