When you visit someone’s house, is the end table the first thing that catches your attention? Most probably not! That’s because end tables are relatively small in size compared to other pieces of furnoture like the couch, coffee table, bookshelf, etc.

My husband and I wanted to create a sitting area in front of the fireplace so that we could enjoy reading or just chatting by the fire. Aahh, how romantic! I suggested placing a wood end table between the chairs that could also function as a game table. You see, we love playing scrabble and backgammon, and it would be wonderful to play by the fire.

One day we were browsing in a used furniture store and saw an old wood end table which was actually a scrabble board made into a table. Quite ingenious I thought, and the price was cheap, but it was just a little too casual. There were also a few antique end tables in the store that looked elegant but they were out of our price range.
