At 18” by 13.4”, this slate end table measures 22.4” tall. Most standard end tables stand between 18-24 inches, so this is on the taller end. You’ll want to pair this end table with a sofa that has an arm that’s higher than the usual 15” or the table top will be oddly higher than the sofa arm.
Made to Order Slate Top End Table

Add a comfortable armchair upholstered in olive green or autumn gold to relate to the slate top.
