Considerations for choosing a dining table:

When considering a dining table, first think about how many chairs you would like to seat around it. Look at the table design and see if any table legs or posts will obstruct a chair.

A comfortable measurement to maintain around the table is +3' to allow space to pull a chair in and out, with passing room.

Considerations for choosing a nightstand or accent table:

When considering a nightstand, look at the height. Will it meet the arm of a chair or sofa, or sit higher? If you plan to add a lamp to a bedside table, you may want to consider one that sits at the same height as your mattress.

Layer in a console table behind the sofa to hold table lamps and accessories, or you can utilize the surface to perch a drink.
