Ideally, a side table should be slightly lower or at the same height as the arm of the sofa or chair it's paired with. This ensures easy reach and creates a visually balanced arrangement. In the King Series, our side tables are designed to complement our seating pieces perfectly, typically standing between 10-11 inches high. This lower height is ideal for our deep seating options, allowing for comfortable access to drinks, books, or decorative items without obstructing views or conversation. The compact height also makes these tables versatile - they can be easily moved around your outdoor space as needed. Remember, the key is functionality - your side table should enhance your outdoor living experience, not hinder it.
