Occasional Tables

An occasional table is the small portable side or accent table that doesn't fit a single specific role: pulled into the lounge for a guest's drink, slid against a wall when not needed, doubling as a plant stand or display surface. Aosom UK, Archiproducts UK and Cherry Lane Garden Centres between them stock 70+ occasional tables covering £12-£2,159. Standard sizes run 30-40cm square (small accent), 45-60cm square or round (side-table sized), 60-80cm rectangular (coffee-table-substitute on a smaller footprint). Material: solid wood (oak, walnut, mango, the long-life pick); engineered MDF with veneer (the budget tier); metal-and-glass (contemporary, fingerprint-prone); marble or marble-effect (statement piece). The format earns its keep when furniture flexibility matters, small flats, multipurpose rooms, and households where the room layout shifts for entertaining. Stackable nest-of-tables fit the same brief. Filter by size, material and shape in the grid below.
