Re: What is the name of the long narrow table that goes behind a sofa if your sofa sits out in the room?

We bought one from Ethan Allen and it was called a Sofa Table at the time of purchase (So. Calif in case it might be regional) . Coffee Table is in front of the sofa. I can't think of any other names.... hope it comes to you because I'm really curious now....

""We"" called it a library table although it wasn't in a library.

If Ethan Allen calls it a "sofa table", by gum it's a sofa table!

bout de canape? To me those look like side or occasional tables. Canape is french for sofa. The french sites generally seem to call the table you mention a console.
