Used Sofa Tables For Sale on 1stDibs
Find a variety of used sofa tables available on 1stDibs. Frequently made of wood, metal and glass, all used sofa tables available were constructed with great care. Used sofa tables have been made for many years, and versions that date back to the 18th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 21st Century. Used sofa tables bearing Mid-Century Modern or Scandinavian Modern hallmarks are very popular at 1stDibs. Johannes Andersen, Roger Capron and Maison Jansen each produced beautiful used sofa tables that are worth considering.
How Much are Used Sofa Tables?
Prices for used sofa tables can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, used sofa tables begin at $1 and can go as high as $168,436, while the average can fetch as much as $3,169.
Finding the Right Sofa Tables for You
Taller than a coffee table and more elongated and narrow, a sofa table is designed to nestle against the back of a sofa. One-of-a-kind antique, vintage and new sofa tables make a statement while also dividing the room or displaying decorative objects.
Sofa tables are similar to Pembroke tables, which emerged in the 18th century but were positioned in front of the sofa for serving tea or playing cards. The popular furnishing now comes in a range of styles.
Rustic living areas can incorporate natural wood sofa tables that complement the space. Brutalist sofa tables combine organic materials with a distinctly contemporary edge to contrast city and country styles. Scandinavian modern sofa tables offer a sleeker aesthetic. These wooden pieces often have simple designs and few embellishments, with angular lines and experimental structures that enhance any living room.
Notably, minimalist sofa tables frequently feature slightly slimmer profiles. Instead of consisting primarily of wood, these tables are often made of luxurious granite, gleaming brass or lightweight aluminum.
Shop a wide selection of antique, vintage and new sofa tables on 1stDibs today.

The difference between a sofa table and a coffee table is that a sofa table is always behind the sofa and a coffee table is in front of it. Additionally, a sofa table is the same height as the sofa and a coffee table is much shorter.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024No, a side table shouldn't always be lower than a sofa. To make it easy to access items on a table, a sofa's arms should generally be no more than 2 to 3 inches above or below the tabletop. This rule of thumb differs from the one for coffee tables, which should be as tall or 1 to 2 inches shorter than the seat height of the sofa to ensure a balanced look.
