Occasional tables have become immediately identifiable with living and family room settings. It’s quite difficult to imagine one of these rooms without an occasional table of some sort.
For some time, people have had the need to set things down on in a common gathering room. However, the origins of the occasional tables as we know it can be attributed to Britain.
High tea was extremely popular, so tea tables took off in demand as a result.
E.W. Godwin designed the first documented wooden table to be designated as a coffee table during the Victorian era.
Once the groundwork was laid, only time was necessary to evolve this living area staple from serving only utilitarian needs to carrying its own weight with design as well.
The term occasional table can refer to side tables, end tables, coffee tables, sofa tables, cocktail tables and hall tables, too.
The Briarcliff 3-Piece Occasional Set by Coaster boasts a clean design and an extremely-desirable price tag. At only $256, you can outfit your living room with two end tables and coffee table. For that price, you could be satisfied whether you used the tables every day or only on occasion.
