There are a lot of great reasons for you to get a side table.
For one, they can be very aesthetically pleasing.
If you pick one that matches your other décor, then a side table can add that little finishing touch that brings a room to life.
Also, they are great for any place where you need some table space, but don't have enough room for a full sized table.
While it's true that many people won't notice the side tables in your house, they are like the salt in your food: you don't notice it unless there's too much, but the food wouldn't taste very good without it.
Here are five things you should know before buying this kind of tables.

• The first is that you should understand the size limitations of these tables.
  If you just need a little bit of table space or storage underneath then they work fine, but you should not underestimate your needs.
  Don't get a table just because it looks good when you really need the space of something larger.
  
• Another useful thing is that they work great as a complement to your current furniture, in addition to being fine on their own.
  This means that if you already have a table or dresser that you like, but you need a little more room, an attractive side table could be a good addition.
  
• The next great is as an aesthetic addition to improve your overall décor.
  Many side tables are made with very attractive designs, and they come in an almost limitless selection of shapes and sizes, so you won't have any trouble finding one that matches.
  There are also many different types of wood used in side tables, and each has its own beauty.
  
• Another good thing to know is that they can be fun to decorate.
  While they are themselves a decoration of sorts, you can add anything to them for a wonderful result.
  Whether it is a collection of your favorite figurines or pictures of your family, a side table will look great with them.
  
• The final aspect that make them great is that they do not have to be expensive.
  While you can certainly find tables that are high priced if that is what you are looking for, you can also find them for very little if you care more about function than form.
  

Side tables are one of those small décor accents that you do not notice unless you are looking for them.
However, you notice immediately if they are not there.
Considering there are so many different options, there's no reason not to find some that match your house and your life.
