Behind-the-couch-table?
Permalink Closed

I'm moving to a new apartment in a few weeks (whee! a eat-in kitchen! with fancy french doors!) and am looking to do a major overhaul on my decorating scheme and furniture (slowly but surely...). Because of the living room layout it would make the most sense to have the couch in the middle of the room and I'd like to get one of those table-thingies that go against the back of it. BUT I CAN'T FIND ONE! I'm looking for a 9-12" wide, 29" tall table that's long. It doesn't have to be as long as the couch, I could work with two side by side tables but nothing seems to be that thin and yet that tall. Help! I've looked through Ikea, Target, Kmart and the like but nothing seems to be of those specifications. Can anybody help? I wouldn't mind at all from Ikea (cheap is good!), I just can't seem to find any on thier website. Any help? Or maybe just name of the table I'm looking for so I can google it? Something tells me that thier not called "behind-the-couch-table". Thanks!

I think the term you're looking for is "sofa table," or "console table," but your measurements are a little small, so I'd look at hall tables, too.

How specific are your measurements? There are a lot of 30-32" tables around.

Here's one from World Market; it's 11"Dx30"hx36"W for $169: link

this one from Pier 1 is also a close match in size, and it's $129.

Marshalls, TJMaxx, Ross, and thrift stores are also awesome places to check for inexpensive sofa tables!  I always see such cute ones at those places, but don't have a use for one in our current house .

Thanks everybody- just knowing that it's a sofa table helps! I like the second one that Elle posted, and it's cheap! I think I might get two and stick one in the kitchen to put all my appliance things on. I am so loving having a big kitchen!

Overstock.com often has bargains galore on accent tables such as these.
