Here are the things to consider when buying gilt side tables:

1. Size

The side table size is essential, especially when determining how you would use it. Ideally, it should be no more than the height of the sofa or chair arm. It can be as wide as possible but not more than one chair seat.

2. Shape

Gilt side tables are mostly round-shaped. However, there are some which are square or rectangular. So, which shape do you want? A round gilt side table creates a sense of variety in a room filled with rectangular sofas. But that doesn’t mean you cannot buy a side table with a square top.

3. Height

The average side table is 24 inches high. However, it can rise higher or a little lower than that. Ideally, it should be two to three inches within the height of a sofa. Before buying one, determine how high your couch is.

4. Other Considerations

Apart from the size, shape, and height, there are several other things to consider when purchasing a gilt side table. There are the essential considerations:

Drawers: A side table with drawers is a good option if you need space to store several items. That way, you can use the tabletop and drawers for storage.

Shelves: Some gilt side tables have shelves and are ideal for stacking books and other items. You can choose a shelved side table if you need that storage.

Materials: The tabletop material determines the things it can hold. For example, foods and drinks are best held on marble, glass, or stone tabletop.

Available Space: How much space do you have in your house? If you have a small space, get a side table with shelves. Otherwise, you can have several side tables.
