Side tables are under-sung heroes of versatility and functionality whether placed by an accent chair or cozied up next to the bed. They provide a space to rest your drink or your evening book, they provide an attractive platform for your favorite lamps, and they dutifully hold essentials like alarm clocks and family photos.
