Top. The top is 6 mm glossy black tempered glass set into a brushed (matte) stainless steel frame.

Frame finish

Alfa is a C-shaped pull-up table: its base slides under a sofa or bed while the top cantilevers over your lap, so a laptop, plate or drink sits exactly where you need it. This version pairs a glossy black tempered glass top with a finely brushed stainless steel frame, an industrial contrast that suits loft, modern and masculine rooms. At 24 inches high it clears most sofa seats and arms. The narrow 12 inch width lets it stand in gaps where a round side table will not fit.

Planning notes

• Sold in pairs: Alfa end tables are packed two to a box, so please order them in multiples of two.
• Check that your sofa or bed has at least 2 in of open space under the front edge for the base to slide in.
• 24 in high: the top sits above most sofa seats (17 to 19 in) and arms.
• Glass shows fingerprints; a microfiber cloth keeps it clear.
• Shipping: in-stock end tables ship in 3 to 5 business days. If your top and base combination is out of stock or on its way to our warehouse, please allow 10 to 15 weeks for it to ship.

Who it is not for

• Buyers who need just one table; Alfa is sold in pairs.
• Sofas and beds that sit flat on the floor with no gap underneath.
• Heavy loads; it is a light pull-up table, not a work desk.

Care

Clean the glass with a soft cloth and a standard glass cleaner, and lift objects rather than sliding them across the top. Wipe the metal frame with a soft, dry cloth; skip abrasive pads, which scratch polished and brushed steel.

Frequently asked questions

How does a C table work?

The base is a flat frame that slides under the sofa or bed, and the top reaches over the seat. You get a table surface right in front of you without leaning forward.

Can I buy one Alfa table?

Alfa end tables are packed and sold in pairs, so order them in multiples of two. Contact us if you need a single table.

How high is it?

24 in (61 cm), tall enough to sit over most sofa seats and many sofa arms.

Why does the glass Alfa cost less than the wood and marble Alfa?

The black glass top is the least costly top in the range. Wenge or walnut veneer costs a little more, and the white Carrara marble top is the most expensive; the frame is the same on all three.

Is the glass tempered?

Yes. The 6 mm black glass is tempered for strength and safety.

How fast does this end table ship?

If the combination you choose is in stock at our warehouse, the end table ships in 3 to 5 business days. If it is out of stock or on its way to us, please allow 10 to 15 weeks; the page tells you which applies before you check out.
