Drink Tables

Typically smaller than a traditional end table, drink tables offer compact surfaces to place your beverage and offer endless options for adding artistic elements to your room. From geometric to animal shapes and metal to wood, Furnitureland South carries drink tables in designs and materials to suit any style.

Drink Tables Work Anywhere

Small in scale but big on style, drink tables are the ultimate functional accent for modern living spaces. Often referred to as martini tables, these compact, pedestal-style tables are designed to hold just the essentials — a beverage, a phone, or a book. Their petite footprint allows them to fit where traditional end tables can’t, making them perfect for tight corners, open-concept layouts, and floating seating arrangements. Consider making the most of their convenient size in these spaces:

• Beside a floating armchair: Tuck a drink table next to a swivel chair or recliner where a standard side table would feel too bulky or be in the way.
• Between two accent chairs: Use one shared drink table between a pair of chairs to encourage conversation without blocking the flow of the room.
• Next to a bathtub: Create a spa-like experience by placing a water-resistant stone or metal table beside a freestanding tub for candles or a glass of wine.
• In a reading nook: Their small size makes them ideal for cozy corners where floor space is limited.
• Outdoor transition: Many ceramic or metal drink tables are durable enough to move between your sunroom and patio for indoor-outdoor entertaining.
• As a plant stand or display pedestal: Elevate greenery or sculptural décor.
• In entryways or mudrooms: Use a small drink table as a catchall for quick drop-offs.

How to Choose the Perfect Drink Table for Your Room

Whether you're designing a room for social gatherings or looking for the just right piece to fit in your reading nook, here are some guidelines to help you select the right drink table:

• Check the height: This is the most critical factor. A drink table should sit at or slightly below the arm height of your chair so you can set down a drink without leaning over.
• Focus on stability: Look for a weighted base or solid materials like marble, iron, or brass. Since these tables are tall and narrow, a heavy bottom prevents tipping.
• Select a shape: Round tables are classic and easy to navigate around, while square or hexagonal tops can add a geometric, modern edge and more surface area.
• Treat it like the jewelry of your room: Because they are small, drink tables are a low-risk place to be bold. Choose a finish that pops, like polished brass, acrylic, or a sculptural stone, to add a touch of glamour to the room. Or, go for a more unique drink table! We have tables with animal shapes, quartz flowers, and whirling rattan pedestals.
• Consider its function: Do you need storage with drawers or shelves, portability — lightweight or nesting — or durability, as with glass, metal, or stone, for heavy-use areas? If you are shopping for a drink table for a couch, you'll want one with the legs on one side and a stable base so it can tuck under the bottom of your sofa.
• Scale to seating: One drink table per seat area is ideal; for sectional sofas, consider two martini tables.
• Material & maintenance: Wood is warm and repairable, metal is durable and easy to clean, glass reads light and modern but shows fingerprints. Choose what fits your lifestyle.
• Style coordination: Match finishes and shapes with major pieces, like coffee tables or media consoles, or purposely mix materials for layered interest.
