Mini Side Tables for Small and Narrow Spaces

A mini side table is useful when a standard end table would block the room or look out of scale. EmKa’s compact designs provide a small surface for a drink, phone, book or lamp while preserving as much floor and walkway space as possible.

The narrowest tables in the collection use the 14.5 cm (5.7 in) bestseller depth. It is ideal for a flat, level floor and carefully sized everyday objects. Where the room allows, a 19.5 cm (7.7 in) or 22 cm (8.7 in) depth provides a broader base and more front-to-back surface area.

Choose a low 40 cm (15.7 in) table beside compact seating, a 25 cm (9.8 in) wide design for an exceptionally tight gap, or one of the two-size models when you need a different balance of height and width. Every listed dimension is shown in centimetres and inches so the scale is easier to picture.

These small rustic side tables are handmade from solid pine, with natural grain and knots visible through the chosen finish. They arrive assembled, avoiding the loose fittings and industrial board panels associated with flat-pack furniture.

How to Choose the Right Product

  • Measure the gap at the narrowest point, including skirting boards.
  • Check the table height against the seat, sofa arm or mattress.
  • Measure the full base of the object intended for the top.
  • Preview the footprint with masking tape.
  • Use 14.5 cm on a flat, level surface.
  • Choose 19.5 or 22 cm for thick carpet, uneven flooring or more usable top space.

Stability, Installation & Assembly

All mini side tables in this collection arrive fully assembled. Place them on a flat, level surface, keep objects centred and never use a mini table as a stool or step. If the floor has thick carpet or is uneven, choose a deeper model rather than the 14.5 cm version.

What Can These Products Be Used For?
  • A mug and phone beside an armchair
  • A compact bedside surface
  • A small lamp or plant stand
  • A book table in a reading corner
  • An occasional surface in an alcove or conservatory
Real Solid Wood, Not MDF or Chipboard

Every timber product in this collection is handmade from real solid pine, not MDF, chipboard or a printed wood-effect panel. Grain, knots and tone variation are natural features of the material.

Colours & Finish

Depending on the product, choose Natural, Oak, Dark Oak, Mahogany, Walnut, Jacobean, Slate Grey or Silver Grey. Waxed finishes enrich the grain and offer everyday protection, but they are not waterproof; use coasters and wipe spills promptly.

Custom Sizes

Need a custom size? Message us before ordering. Include the maximum available width, depth and height in centimetres, plus a photo of the space where it will help us understand skirting boards, radiators, doors or other obstacles.

Shipping & Processing

Free shipping on orders over £100 (UK mainland)

Nothing you see here is sitting in a warehouse. Every piece is cut, sanded and finished by hand after you order it, in the size and shade you chose - which is why it fits a space an off-the-shelf piece never would.

That work normally takes 7-14 working days before your piece leaves the workshop. It then travels on a fast, fully tracked UK service. You'll get an order confirmation straight away, and a tracking link the moment it's dispatched.

Returns: you may return an unused item within 30 days of receiving your order. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, unless the item is faulty or damaged. See our Refund Policy.
