Why you can trust Real Homes
Our top pick for this collection is the DHP Rosewood tall end table. We selected it because you can add it almost anywhere in the room because of the small footprint. And it’s not limited to living rooms, it would also work well in an entryway or hallway if you need an extra spot to set things. We also thought the slightly flared legs added a bit of personality to the piece.
For those who have several remotes for different electronics or gaming systems, we recommend the Winsome Eugene accent table. It has plenty of room to store games, extra controllers, and cables. The satin nickel knobs add a touch of elegance and the legs give the table some physical and visual height.
