Hi there! I'm Sally Elshorafa — Home and Garden Editor here at BuzzFeed Shopping. I can't wait to show you all the awesome options you have for a sofa table, but before we dive in, let's discuss *what* exactly a sofa table is.
Sofa tables (aka console tables or entry tables) are the underrated MVPs of home furniture. They're those slim, often narrow tables that live behind your sofa or along an empty wall — adding just the right amount of surface space and style without taking up a ton of real estate. Whether you're looking for a spot to drop your keys, show off your favorite candles, or sneak in some extra storage, a sofa table can do it all while looking great from every angle. They're also just as handy in entryways, hallways, or anywhere else you need a slim surface that won't take up too much space.
When shopping for one, consider the width and height — it should generally match or sit just below the back of your sofa (*if* it's going behind your sofa). Think about your goal, too: Do you need drawers? A bottom shelf? Something super sleek and minimal? Materials matter, especially if you're matching to other pieces in the room, and if you've got kids or pets, durability counts. To save you the scrolling spiral, I've rounded up the best options you can buy online right now — each one worthy of a spot behind your couch.
1. A super long and very narrow sofa table that'll tuck in neatly behind your sofa so it won't take up the whole room. It's simple, sure — but the built-in outlet is the real game-changer, with two plugs, a USB port, and a Type-C port. Basically, it's a full-on charging station, so you keep all your devices powered up without ever leaving the couch.
Promising review: "I spend a lot of time on my sofa. I have too many books, I admit. Now there is a place for everything, and when I'm all snuggled up with pups, I don't have to reach far for my tea, the light, my phone (charging), tissues, or my book. I love it. Comes with things to attach to the wall, but I didn't bother as it's wedged behind the sofa. Amazing the space it adds. Easy to clean, too. Has a USB-C, which I didn't expect but appreciate." — lilk
Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in three sizes and five finishes).
2. A farmhouse-style console table with an ivory base and light wood top to instantly warm up your space. The X-shaped sides aren't just cute — they add extra stability and make the table look good from every angle. Plus, the bottom shelf gives you plenty of space to stash baskets, toys, or whatever else's currently floating around your living room.

Promising review: "This little table looks so cute in my entryway. It was easy to put together and looks so nice. It's very lightweight." — Jackie
Get it from Amazon for $89.99.
3. A wood and rattan sofa table for anyone who's leaning into the boho aesthetic. The woven rattan drawer fronts are the obvious showstopper, but the gold metal handles add a touch of sophistication, and the waterproof finish means you don't have to be precious with it.

Promising review: "It's been a few months, and I'm still in LOVE with this boho rattan console table! I'm so impressed with the high-quality design and how affordable it is! I'll admit I was nervous because they don't offer free returns, but the color is spot on, and it fits perfectly in my entryway space. The table is very sturdy without being too heavy. It does come with handles but I liked it better without them. My one cat loves to sit on it often, but I haven't seen any scratch marks, so it seems to hold up well." — Nicole Neissany
Get it from Amazon for $112.99.
4. A matte black sofa table if you want something with a thin profile so you don't visually crowd your space. The clean lines and airy frame keep things feeling light, not bulky, while the open shelves give you plenty of room to display your prettiest books, candles, and that one plant you refuse to give up on.
Promising review: "The table is simple and elegant. It serves as a good canvas to put decorative items, as well as being functional. It looks great below my TV. The quality is very good, too — heavy and sturdy." — Anonymous
"I purchased this console for my basement renovation. I needed something that worked with my aesthetic of blending vintage and new mid-century modern-inspired pieces. This table was perfect. The size and profile work perfectly for the space, while also allowing for a big impact to showcase beautiful objects, books, etc." — Jennifer
Get it from AllModern for $259.
5. A wavy console table with a sculptural silhouette that immediately sets it apart from the pack. The wavy edge detail gives it a fluid, almost architectural look, while the boxy shape keeps it grounded and practical. It's the kind of piece that'll make guests say, "Wait — where did you get that?" the moment they see it.
amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "Such a beautiful piece!! The piece is very sturdy and it is just like the picture! I would highly recommend this. I love how there is storage on the top and underneath." — Rattermans
Get it from Amazon for $122.99+ (available in three different finishes).
6. A matte black sofa table if you want something timeless. The glass top adds a touch of refinement, while the metallic steel frame gives it a sturdier feel than you expect from something this delicate-looking. It's subtle, polished, and easy to picture in just about any room.
Promising review: "So beautiful! Perfect traditional lines mixed with modern materials. Heavy weight and not flimsy. LOVE!" — Stacey
Get it from Wayfair for $216.99.
7. A mirrored sofa table to instantly glam up the back of your sofa or that blank living room wall you've been meaning to do something with. The gold base makes it feel extra fancy, and the whole thing just looks so dang delicate that you'll feel like you should place a velvet rope around it — but don't, because it's actually pretty sturdy.
Ascenza / Wayfair, Cheryl / Wayfair
Promising review: "I absolutely love it. This narrow console adds a statement to a small entry hallway! The gold frame is sturdy and the glass is thick." — Genelyn
Get it from Wayfair for $117.99+ (available in two widths).
8. A console table with a faux marble top and shelf if you're eager to take a break from the endless parade of wood finishes. The marble look brings in a fresh feel, and the rounded edges soften the whole piece so it doesn't feel too stark.
Ashley / Wayfair
Promising review: "Chic table, wanted something without square edges to protect elderly and children who might fall. Also to soften all the angles in the room. Will use it to display tchotchkes." — Vanessa
Get it from Wayfair for $74.99+ (available with a gold or black base).
9. A handmade console table that looks like it was plucked straight from an 18th-century French countryside estate. The intricate detailing, fanciful silhouette, and distressed finish make it look like a high-end antique, the kind of piece that makes everything around it feel a little more refined. It's fancy schmancy without being fussy, and truly unlike anything you'll find at a big-box store.
Mon Antonine / Etsy
Mon Antonine is a small business based in Poland making antique-inspired custom console tables.
Promising review: "The exquisite beauty of this table is hard to describe. After paying initially, I was nervous as I'd never bought anything so expensive without seeing it before. I am so glad I trusted the reviews. This is one of the nicest pieces of furniture in my house, and I get so much joy looking at it every time I come down the stairs. Do not hesitate to buy. It looks better in real life than in photos, and the owner is a pleasure to deal with." — Grainne Duggan
Get it from Mon Antonine on Etsy for $733.47+ (available in 12 finishes and over 50 widths).
10. A console table with three drawers, three outlets, and two USB ports if you want your furniture to do more than just sit there looking cute. It's roomy enough to hold a couple of lamps without feeling crowded, and the open shelves give you extra space for whatever knickknacks need a home. It's the kind of table that'll look great behind the sofa or by the door, and secretly makes your life way easier.
Promising review: "This table is a perfect blend of style and functionality! The sleek design and quality craftsmanship make it a beautiful addition to my home. The three spacious drawers are great for keeping essentials organized, and the built-in outlets and USB ports are a lifesaver for charging devices on the go. It's sturdy, easy to assemble, and the perfect size for my space. I love how it adds both elegance and practicality to my office. These match so well with the rest of my furniture I bought three! Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their home organization!" — CrystalXOXO
Get it from Amazon for $87.54+ (available in two sizes and five finishes).
11. A modern solid wood sofa table with a bit of chunk to add weight and presence to your space without feeling overwhelming. The clean lines and shape make it feel totally on trend, like something you'd double-tap in a perfectly lit Instagram photo and then immediately want for your own home.

Promising review: "Looking for a narrow, long, but not too long, table to add a designer look without breaking the bank? This is the table. Height was the perfect fit against the couch. Measured both height and length of the couch and width to make sure it wasn't too tall, too wide, or too long. Added lamp and some coffee books without looking overcrowded, as it is narrow." — Chaela Marie
Get it from Amazon for $120.07+ (available in two sizes and five finishes).
12. A four-tier sofa table with a rugged, industrial build for anyone who wants their furniture to actually pull its weight. The circular base sets it apart from your typical straight-line setup, and with four levels of storage, it's basically a shelving unit in disguise.
amazon.com, amazon.com
Promising review: "Can't say enough about this product. Easy to set up, shelves are perfect for all your needs. I love the look of the circle instead of just a rectangular table. I think its value for the money is perfect. The wood grain is nice and easy to wipe clean (dust)." — DC
Get it from Amazon for $111.99+ (available in five color combinations).
13. A farmhouse-style console table with three drawers if you like your furniture with a little vintage charm — and a place to stash stuff. The drawer handles give it that old-school, heirloom look, while the storage makes it totally functional for tossing keys, mail, or whatever else you don't want sitting out in plain sight.

Promising review: "I'm thrilled with my console table! It has completely transformed my entryway, adding both style and functionality. The soft white and brown color palette gives a warm, rustic look that feels cozy and inviting. The three drawers are ideal for storing keys, mail, and other odds and ends, which keeps everything organized and out of sight. The narrow design is perfect for my small space but still long enough to make a statement behind my sofa. If you're looking for a stylish and functional table to compliment your decor, this one is a fantastic choice!" — Elena T.
Get it from Amazon for $135.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors).
14. A sofa table with a reclaimed wood top that nails the whole rustic-meets-modern thing. The distressed wood has that perfectly weathered look that adds a ton of character, and the black metal hairpin legs mean it has a vintage vibe. Perfect for folks who love the whole modern/farmhouse/vintage aesthetic mashup.
Thor Woods / Etsy
Thor Woods is a small business based in Richmond, Virginia making custom wood console tables.
Promising review: "So gorgeous! Even more beautiful than described or pictures reflect. Truly unique, very well-crafted, easy-to-assemble legs; a perfect addition to any room.

Get it from Thor Woods on Etsy for $179.99+ (available in seven finishes and 14 widths).
15. A glass-top sofa table for adding a little shine and structure to your living room setup. The geometric gold base brings in just enough pizzazz, and the clear glass top and shelves give you space to show off your favorite decor without distraction.
Susana / Wayfair, Jamie / Wayfair

Get it from Wayfair for $96.99+ (available in three finishes and two sizes).
16. A console table that looks like something you'd spot in a beautifully lit home tour. The turned legs and soft, neutral finish give it a classic, relaxed look that's easy to blend into just about any style of room. It's one of those pieces that quietly elevates a space without trying too hard.
Walmart
Promising review: "I am so happy with this table. Looks much more expensive, like those brands that are just out of reach for a lot of us. Beautiful and solid piece of furniture." — Kim
"I waited several months for this console table to come back in stock, and it was worth the wait!! Such a gorgeous piece for an entryway, behind a couch, etc. I love that it is enclosed on the bottom so that your ottomans, baskets, etc., are lifted off the floor." — Jessica
Get it from Walmart for $128.
17. A narrow sofa table with an angled metal frame to add extra support without making things feel clunky. If you've only got a sliver of space to work with, this one's a total win — it fits where others won't, while still giving you room for a lamp and some thoughtfully curated decorative objects.

Promising review: "I love the minimalistic view of it — it's not too thick but not too thin — it holds a lot, and it looks perfect. I love it, and I would buy it again if I had to. It's very stable,e and the black is pure black." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $64.59+ (available in four finishes and three sizes).
18. A wood and metal console table that's basically the sofa table equivalent of "farmhouse, but make it chic." It's from Heart & Hand with Magnolia, so it already looks like it belongs in a house that smells faintly of eucalyptus and freshly baked bread. The curved edges are a blessing for anyone who's ever walked into furniture at full speed. Plus, the bottom shelf is perfect for baskets, blankets, or anything else that needs storing.
Target
Promising review: "Love love love this table. It is super sturdy. Love the mix of metal and wood. Really easy to put together. I love the shape, nice change from a typical rectangular entryway." — Jess M.
Get it from Target for $229.99.
19. A weathered gray sofa table to bring a little extra heft and character to your space. It's definitely on the visually bigger side, but in a way that anchors the room rather than overwhelms it. The wood finish gives it a unique, almost antique look, like it has been passed down from several generations (but is actually available on Amazon for less than $300).

Promising review: "So, after a year of searching, I finally settled on these because of the thickness of the framing. It sets off my couch nicely, and I'm in serious love with it. So much so that I might regret writing this review and having it sell out. I intend to buy this table for two more areas of my house!!! All of my decor goes with it, and it doesn't wobble at al,l which makes it a sturdy base for pictures and larger decor." — Anne Lewis
Get it from Amazon for $271.99.
20. And a handmade wood and epoxy resin sofa table if you want something that you buy once and talk about forever. The shimmering turquoise resin flowing through the natural wood grain gives major art-house-meets-beach-house energy, and it's impossible not to stare at it. It's bold, totally unique, and probably cooler than most of your wall art.
Century Chic / Etsy
Century Chic is a family-owned small business based in Alameda, California making wood and resin decor for the home.
Promising review: "Gorgeous!!! very well made. What a wonderful and functional piece of art. So grateful and appreciative for this. Thank you!!" — Beth
