Actually, I've been on a hunt for months! I just can't decide on the best side table for our living room with the correct look and value for the money.
I mean, I see a table I like, but the problem most of the time is that, the price is way off my radar or I have my doubts on it for some other reason! I'm sure you know what I'm talkin' about. Anyhow, here is our side table now...
Living room |
I know, not bad at all. These IKEA Lack table for $12 a piece is definitely a keeper ( it will head off to our Basement family room). But for our living room now, I really wanted a taller and more substantial piece. Something that will also be a keeper and at the same time, will look great no matter what I end up changing in our living room.
Here are my options starting with the cheaper ones...
1)Homedecorator's Parsons end table
Subtle modernist table |
CONS: However, my problem is the bottom - although I love that it covers the floor space underneath (which I need because of all the wiring under), I feel that this would not be FLAT on the floor because the bottom is solid.
2) Overstock's Tacoma weathered table
Go-with-anything table |
PROS: Priced at $124.49, 24.5 inches high, this one is also a keeper. I love it's weathered-wood look and I love that it is a no fuss table. A lot easier for someone with 2 boys like me. I also love the extra storage space underneath - great for books, game boards and other knick-knack.
CONS: I'm not sure though if it will go well with my Custom chairs below....???

3) Overstock's Jade End table
Simple with a twist |
PROS: At $151.9, 23 inches high, this one is also well-priced and looks more high-end. I love the glass top (although mirrored would make this super fab more) and the cute shelf underneath.
CONS: Glass top may not be the best for our house-hold and cleaning it up for fingerprints may drive me nuts.
Now let's start with the high-end ones and probably considered, "Dream Side tables" because as the name implies , high-end means high-priced..
4)) Crate and Barrel Driftwood Side table
Naturally Gorgeous |
CONS: No surprise at all here, for $399 ++, this one is something I may never be able to replace because of how expensive it is alone! I also think it may look better in a woodsy more masculine space.
5) Zgallerie's Encore end table
Simple yet sophisticated |
CONS: Again, the price, at $399 ++, I would be heartbroken if something cracks or smashes this delicate top. :-(
6) Jonathan Adler Regent table
High-end in all aspects |
CONS: Other than its sky-high price ($795), this table is also the shortest of my choices, 16 inches tall, kinda like the same height as my Lack table.
7) Zinc door's Alexander Side table
Definitely only in my dreams |
So you see what I mean about having difficulty choosing a side table? I know, it's a great "problem" to have and "solving" it will be even more fun.
Let me know your thoughts, I would love to hear them. My "perfect" side table may not be in any of these choices, it may be lurking in a yard sale or estate sale somewhere, who-knows
Have a great weekend!!!!!
