Nesting Tables: Bring Style & Function to Your Space

Nesting tables are a set of accent tables that increase in size to give a layered or stacked look. They are great space-saving solutions for small apartments or homes since the individual tables can slide into each other to become one unit. Easy to move around, they can be stored elsewhere when they're not in use. They can also be separated and used independently in different areas throughout your home.

Nesting tables come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and materials, which makes them the perfect addition to any style of space. For example, wooden nesting tables bring traditional charm, whereas glass tables allow for a modern sleekness and appear to take up less visual space.

How to Use Nesting Tables

There are many uses for nesting tables, making them a versatile and functional piece. Serving as somewhere to show off your decorative accessories or collectibles, they can be used in your living room, bedroom, kid's spaces, and even the bathroom!

Living Room

Make a statement in the center of your living room by replacing your coffee table with a set of nesting tables. Created with flexibility in mind, they can be positioned in a variety of stylish and practical configurations to suit your home.

Use the tables to hold drinks and snacks when entertaining, or even as a makeshift desk for your laptop when you are working from home.

Bedroom

If you are going for a minimalist look in your bedroom, replace your bulky traditional nightstand with a lightweight nesting table. Many of our tables feature clean, sleek lines that will enhance the cleanliness and calmness of your space. Add a lamp, small plant, and a book and your minimalist nightstand is complete!

Playroom

With many budget-friendly options, nesting tables can also be the perfect kid-sized crafting surface. As a bonus, they can be stacked and put away when they are no longer being used.

Bathroom

Nesting tables can even provide extra space in the bathroom for when you are getting ready. They are an ideal place to lay out all your beauty products, and can easily be put away when you are done.
