Most of the choice comes down to one number: how high the top sits. Across the first eight tables in this range, heights run from 25.5 cm to 74 cm, and one adjusts up to 105 cm. Measure the seat or surface the table will sit beside, then choose from the matching group.
These go in front of a sofa or a pair of chairs. The Noguchi coffee table in its medium size stands 38 cm high under a 108 by 73.5 cm glass top, and the large Bell tables stand 36 to 37 cm under a 75 cm round top. Browse our modern coffee tables for more at this height.
Tables for the side of a chair or bed vary the most. The Eames LTR is 25.5 cm high, lower than any table above. The Bell side table stands 53 cm, and the E1027 adjusts from 64 to 105 cm, which its product page suggests for bedside or sofa-side use. Check the height before ordering from our side tables.
The Tulip oval table stands 72 cm high with a 196 by 121.5 cm top on a single cast aluminium base. See more in our modern dining tables. The Swag desk has a 74 cm writing surface, 50 cm deep, with a back shelf at 88 cm. For more work surfaces, see our modern desks, and for meeting rooms, our conference tables.
The range covers low tables for the living room, tables for the side of a sofa or bed, tables for dining, desks and tables for meeting rooms. The first eight pieces in the grid use tempered glass, cast aluminium, polished stainless steel, laminated plywood and walnut veneer, and marble-topped pieces appear further down. Filter the grid by material or colour to narrow the choice.
Measure what the table will sit beside, then match it. Among the first eight tables here, the low pieces stand 36 to 38 cm, one smaller table 25.5 cm, a round table for beside a chair 53 cm, and the tables for eating and working 72 to 74 cm. One piece adjusts from 64 to 105 cm.
Six to eight, depending on chair size, according to the Tulip oval table's product page. Its top measures 196 by 121.5 cm and stands 72 cm high. Because the top rests on a single cast aluminium pedestal, there are no corner legs to work around when you place the chairs.
Clean it with a non-abrasive glass cleaner and a soft or microfibre cloth, as the Noguchi and Bell product pages recommend, to avoid scratches and streaks. Use coasters or mats under hot drinks to prevent heat marks. The Noguchi coffee table has an 18 mm tempered glass top.
It depends on the piece. The Eames LTR arrives fully assembled. The Noguchi and Tulip tables need their tops placing on their bases, the Swag desk needs just its feet fitting, and the round glass and metal tables are listed as moderate assembly, with instructions. Assembly is not part of standard delivery, but customer support can arrange a quote.
Lead times differ from one table to another, so check the product page before you order, where the current lead time sits under the add to cart button. Some pieces and finishes are held in stock for faster dispatch, and the express delivery filter on this page shows which ones.
Warranty terms are shown on each product page, in the product specification, so check the page for the exact table and finish you are ordering. If anything arrives damaged, contact customer support with your order number and photos of the damage, and the team will arrange a solution.
Several tables are based on designs by named designers: the glass-topped table on two interlocking wooden pieces by Isamu Noguchi, the pedestal tables by Eero Saarinen, the adjustable chrome table by Eileen Gray, the low table on a steel rod base by Charles Eames, and a writing desk by George Nelson. The Bell tables are inspired by Sebastian Herkner. None is manufactured by or affiliated with the original designers.
