Sofa Table

12 years ago

My family room has two couches facing each other with a coffee table in the middle. I am looking at a sofa table to put behind one of the couches with a couple of lamps on it. the table I really like is a bit taller than the couch. Is that going to look bad if it is taller than the back of the couch?

Depends on the style of the couch and table. Any pix? Generally level or an inch or two lower is advised.
