Side Tables

When it comes to furnishing your office, side tables aren’t just sidekicks to lobby sofas, coffee tables and other furniture. They are needed and versatile additions to almost any type of room. Side tables provide just the right surface size for visitors and employees to place their personal belongings or even laptops for an impromptu discussion outside of a conference room setting. But where should you place your side tables for maximum user-friendliness and convenience? Well, the answer is the office reception and breakout areas!

Office Reception Areas

The office reception area or lobby is one of the first places your clients and visitors will see, hence it should make a great first impression with furniture that’s well-designed. However, an aesthetically pleasing office lobby isn’t the only thing you should be concerned about as it’s equally important for it to be practical. Side tables can function as makeshift computer desks outside of the typical conference room setting. So if your clients are looking to quickly whip out their laptops or get some work done while waiting, side tables will certainly be a welcome alternative to laps or coffee tables which tend to be too low to work on. If your office lobby is a little short on space, consider getting nesting side tables instead as a space-saving option.

Breakout Areas

Side tables are also ideal for breakout rooms, particularly with the new normal which requires more thought when it comes to furnishing an office to be more compliant with the SOPs. Having side tables allows employees using the breakout room to put aside their belongings and enjoy some downtime without worrying about having to share tables. For staff looking for a quiet place to catch up on work outside of their cubicles, a side table also doubles as a handy computer desk away from the confines of their actual desks. Side tables can vastly increase the functionality of a breakout space without needing too much space, especially if you’re opting for nesting tables that can be “stacked” out of sight when not in use. You could also add to the cosiness of the space and variety of seating options by including lounge chairs and several poufs and benches.
