A small yet modern side table is a welcome element in any contemporary living space, representing a great spot to place a drink, a book, an accent lamp or a remote control. Especially since every other surface in the room is more or less permanently positioned, the small end table earns its functional ranks by offering the freedom of mobility, versatility of its size and the decorating powers of a “finishing touch”. Often available in bright colors, sculptural silhouettes and off-beat styles, modern side tables offer no stylistic limitations which is why selecting top 10 is so difficult.
