Hi, I love the crate end table that is shown next to the white couch. I am wondering where I could find something like that or even what the measurements are for the crate. Is it 2 crates stacked on top of each other? »
Use: Side table full of history and characterResult: Just the right dollop of crusty patina in an otherwise white and clean shabby chic room.Hint: If the crate is uneven, use felt pads (the kind that protect floors from scratchy table legs) to level it.
Feel free to use nontraditional objects — shipping crates, old suitcases, sewing machine stands, garden stools — as end tables. Just make sure they fall in step with the height and scale guidelines above so that they are conversation pieces rather than nuisances. Tell us: What do you use for end tables, and what makes them work?
The number-one question when choosing an end table: How tall should it be? The rule of thumb is that its surface area should be equal to or just below the height of the sofa arms. For a standard sofa, that's around 25 inches, but get out the measuring tape to be sure (I did, and it's a good thing — the arms on mine hit 28 inches). Most end tables are between 22 and 30 inches.
