Zandra Gray Sofa Table

For the best visual balance, a sofa table should be the same height as the back of your sofa or slightly lower. This table stands at 30.5 inches, which is a standard height designed to align seamlessly with most contemporary sofa frames. At 50 inches long, it is ideally proportioned for standard three-seat sofas, providing ample surface area for lamps and decor while maintaining a clean, proportional look.

Yes, this table is highly versatile beyond the living room. With a slim 18-inch depth, it is an excellent solution for narrow entryways or hallways in urban apartments where space is limited. Its contemporary, open-leg design prevents the piece from feeling heavy or bulky, allowing it to provide a functional surface for keys and mail without obstructing foot traffic in tighter transitional spaces.

This table is built for long-term stability using walnut veneers and a metal frame. Walnut veneers are highly valued in furniture construction because they provide the rich, natural grain of real wood while being more resistant to the warping or cracking that can occur with solid wood in varying humidity. The silver-finished metal legs form a geometric base that is exceptionally sturdy, making the table more resistant to accidental bumps from vacuums or pets than traditional wooden legs.

Based on our expertise with these materials, we recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth to prevent debris buildup. For the walnut veneer top, you can use a slightly damp cloth with a mild detergent for occasional spills, but it is important to follow immediately with a dry cloth to protect the veneer from moisture. To maintain the luster of the silver-finished metal, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could dull or scratch the finish.

In large suburban homes with open-concept floor plans, furniture is often used to define specific "zones." Placing a table like this behind a floating sofa creates a clear visual boundary between the living area and the dining or kitchen spaces. Its bold geometric shape and 50-inch length act as a stylish anchor, helping to ground the seating arrangement and provide a structured look to the room's layout.

While these terms are frequently used interchangeably, they often refer to how the piece is used. A sofa table is typically placed behind a sofa to hold lighting and accessories, while a console table is often set against a wall in an entryway. Because of its 30.5-inch height and slim profile, this piece functions perfectly in either role, offering the height needed for sofa access and the narrow depth required for a wall-side console.
