What is an End Table?
An end table is a frequently seen piece of furniture in living rooms and family rooms. As the name implies, an end table normally sits at the end of a couch, or it can be placed next to a chair. It can be used as a place to put down drinks, to display magazines or coffee table books, or as a permanent residence for your TV and DVD remotes. The end table can also be dressed up with flower arrangements, candles, lamps, or a tabletop fountain. Many people prefer the end table to the coffee table because it can be kept out of the way. This may translate to fewer stubbed toes or accidental tripping. An end table may also be great for homes with young children, as they are most apt to hit their heads on low coffee tables or have accidents on or around furniture in their paths. With an end table securely placed next to a couch, such accidents can be reduced. The end table can vary considerably in price, make, style and materials. Many are made of wood, and wood choice is variable. Obviously m
