Our accent tables are side tables and end tables in solid wood, teak, metal, natural fiber and shell mosaic, many of them handcrafted. The majority are small side tables under 18 inches wide, made for a tight corner or a narrow gap. Filter by width or height, then pick a shape: round and drum tops for walkways, square tops where you need room to set things down.

Solid Wood Side Tables in Teak, Mango Wood and Munggur Wood
A solid wood side table is the workhorse of the range, and teak and mango wood lead. The Cason Solid Teak Twist Accent Table is cut from a single piece of teak, while the Merrill Organic Teak Branch Accent Side Table sets a slab top on a base of intertwined teak sticks.
Mango wood, a byproduct of mango agriculture, shapes the scalloped and drum designs, and munggur wood carries the sculptural ones such as the Kaia Munggur Wood Tree Stump Side Table with its butterfly joints. Grain varies on every solid wood end table. For the full material range, see our solid mango wood furniture.
Round Side Tables and Drum Shapes
A round side table has no corner at knee height, so it suits a walkway. Round wood side tables include the 12 inch Lorena Round Solid Teak Wood Accent Table and the 22 inch Christie Round Bayur Wood Cross-Base Side Table. Drum shapes read heavier and steady a lamp; the Kimber Ribbed Solid Wood Accent Side Table is a ribbed mango wood drum on a carved base. A pedestal base, as on the Kayu Round Petrified Wood Pedestal Accent Table, leaves floor space for feet.
Wood and Metal Side Tables
Metal keeps the look light. The Kai Teak Wood Slab Accent Table with Metal Hairpin Legs and the Skye Live Edge Solid Teak Wood Accent Table pair a teak top with a slim metal base, and the Jada Bone Inlay Accent Side Table sets a bone inlay top on splayed black metal legs. For an all-metal piece, the Melrose Metal Drum Accent Side Table is hammered aluminum, and the Eros Antique Brass Tray Top Accent Table borrows its round tray top from Moroccan tea tables.
Small Side Tables for Tight Spots
Several pieces sit below 18 inches high, which suits a low sofa or a window seat. The narrowest are martini tables: the Ava Agate Stone Martini Accent Table is 10 inches across. The August Solid Wood Nesting Tables, Set of 2 tuck one table under the other when you need the floor back.
For storage in a small footprint, the Juliette Square Recycled Coconut Shell Storage Accent Table hides a compartment inside. Budget picks sit in accent and side tables under $150, and for a bigger surface, shop coffee tables.
Rattan, Abaca and Recycled Coconut Shell Side Tables
Rattan adds texture that wood alone cannot. The Camila Round Handwoven Rattan Side Table with Shelf stacks two woven tiers, and the Betty Skirted Handwoven Rattan Accent Table drops a scalloped rattan skirt to the floor. The Naomi Round Handwoven Abaca Accent Table is woven in concentric circles, and the Mila Round Recycled Coconut Shell Accent Table lays small squares of shell in a mosaic.
Side Table and End Table Questions
What is an accent table?
An accent table is a small occasional table that sits beside seating or a bed and holds a lamp, a drink or a book. Accent tables typically stand 22 to 26 inches high and under 24 inches across. Shape and material matter more here than on a coffee table, because it is chosen for contrast.
What is the difference between a side table and an end table?
Very little. An end table is placed at the end of a sofa; a side table goes wherever a surface is needed, from a hallway to a reading nook. Both names describe the same lamp-height table, which is why this collection covers both.
How tall should a side table be?
Match the tabletop to the arm of the sofa or chair beside it, or to the mattress top in a bedroom, within about two inches. The height filter above the grid narrows the choice quickly. For more on sizing, read our guide to choosing the right size accent table.
How do you decorate an accent table?
Three objects at three heights, with a third of the surface left empty. A lamp anchors one side, books add a horizontal line and a small plant finishes it. Woven tops take less weight than wood or metal, so put the heavy lamp on the harder surface.
Pair it with the rest of the room: shop all tables, from coffee tables to consoles.
