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.
