In the Know Tables

Tables: Matching the Height to the Job

A table that sits a few inches too high or too low is noticed every time someone reaches for a cup. Before choosing a style, look at what each table will sit beside, and measure that first.

Four tables, four jobs

Coffee tables

A common starting point is a top about level with the sofa seat, or an inch or two lower, and roughly two-thirds the sofa's length. Leave about 16 to 18 inches (40 to 45 cm) between table and sofa so you can reach it without leaning. Browse coffee tables.

Side tables

Aim for a top close to the height of the chair or sofa arm beside it, so a lamp or a glass is where your hand expects it. A round top softens corners in a tight seating group. Browse accent and side tables.

Console tables

In a hallway, a shallow top keeps the passage clear. Behind a sofa, a console usually looks best at or just below the height of the sofa back. Browse console tables.

Dining & game tables

Most dining tables stand around 29 to 31 inches high, and seating and clearance matter more than style; see our dining tables and their guide. Game tables sit at a similar height, often with a leather top for cards.

Three things to bring when you visit

Seat and arm heights

Measure your sofa's seat and arm heights from the floor. Those two numbers settle most coffee and side table decisions.

The walkways

Note where people walk through the room. A coffee table or console that blocks a regular route will always feel in the way, however good it looks.

A photo of the room

Wood tone, metal finish and floor colour are easier to match with a photo in hand, especially when mixing older and newer pieces.

The Kennedy Galleries Workshop

When a table is almost right

Our workshop can refinish a table to suit your room, and some tables can be modified where the construction allows. We look at each piece individually and will tell you what makes sense.

“A side table should be where your hand expects it to be.”

Compare them side by side

Height, scale and finish are easiest to judge in person. In our Toronto showroom you can try a coffee table against a sofa and a side table beside a chair before you decide.
