You're all wrong! But, darn, if I can think of the name of that table. I know it does have a special name. It will drive me crazy, but I'll think of the name.

For sure, it is not: etagere, parsons, sofa, coffee, etc..........{#emotions_dlg.confused1}

The "fancy name" that keeps coming to mind is "etagiere". But that's <em>not</em> a sofa table.


You know what? THAT is the name I was thinking of. I thought that was a sofa table. No wonder I couldn't find it. I'm sure I've heard people call a sofa table an etagiere. I didn't even know how to spell it.

This is embarrassing. I sell new furniture for a living. I swear I've heard people call a sofa table an etagiere. My store is small and I don't sell sofa tables or etagieres! LOL

My store is just basics such as mattresses, sofas and recliners. We are in a small town, so we stick to the basics.

Thank you! I can quit thinking about it now.

I am going to read the rest of the posts though.

Thank you all for responding!!!

This is what is so neat about coming in here to get some answers. See someone gave an answer and boom! that was what she was after. Funny how that worked out. That was great!

I agree. I'm glad you got your answer, mima. Things like this can drive me crazy until I remember them.
