6 Sculptural Side Tables I Can’t Believe Are Less Than $50 — Amazon is Delivering on Style and Savings
From triangular tabletops and bold reds to breezy rattan, it's that finishing touch that shouldn’t have to cost a fortune — but it needs to look like it


Rule number one of shopping on Amazon: don't forget furniture. It's easy to get swept up in the bigger ticket buys — tech, TVs, and the like, but the humble side table, often an afterthought, is an indispensable design detail that can do wonders to elevate a space. And Amazon has some great options.
Now, if the combination of “Amazon” and “side tables” raised an eyebrow, trust me — I know my stuff. There are fabulously sculptural side tables on Amazon that look like they’re straight out of a high-end design store, offering that je ne sais quoi for a room that’s almost there, but needs just a little something extra.
In fact, the mega-retailer even stocks some of the best side tables from a number of high-end brands you already know and love, as well as the best Amazon home decor to go with them. We all deserve the perfect spot for our mug, book, or favorite adult beverage this season. And who doesn’t love a little frosting? Here's six side tables to shop now (most of which are on sale!)
Price: $35.99, Was: $39.99
This petite triangular side table is perfect for tucking into a corner (great for small spaces) or introducing some novel geometry into a room. You don’t see a table this shape every day, so it ends up looking much more expensive than its $30 price tag (no one needs to know!) And don’t let its clean, barely-there frame fool you — it can support up to 100 pounds! Happy reviewers (4.4/5 stars from 745 ratings) rave that it’s the perfect piece to fit between furniture.
Price: $50.32, Was: $90.49
I know, I know — I’m 32 cents over budget! But I thought I’d make an exception. Just look at it! If I saw this pedestal side table in someone’s home, I’d have guessed it cost around $150 — maybe even more. It’s a huge win in my book, especially considering it has a 4.5/5 average rating. Reviewers say it's far sturdier than expected (which is rare at this price point!).
Price: $49.99
This modern living room side table is so simple, yet so unique! The tabletop is made from pure natural wood, while the stable tripod base in shiny gold adds just the right touch of sparkle to jazz up a tired living room or sitting area. Some assembly is required, but no tools are needed, and you can have it put together in five to ten minutes — well worth it for just $49.99! It’s also available in a white tabletop version and a monochromatic option.
Price: $39.85, Was: $49.85
This table might just be my favorite on the list. It's got two acrylic, colored tiers, with clear posts that give it a light, airy feel. The photos don’t do it justice — it looks so chic when styled within a room, especially atop dark wood or checkerboard floors for a modern, sultry vibe. Use the lower shelf for your favorite coffee table books and place a small lamp or candle on top. With a near-perfect 4.9/5 star rating from 34 reviews, this one’s a no-brainer.
Price: $39.99, Was: $59.99
What a clever little design! This breezy rattan side table — perfect for sun-drenched rooms with lots of greenery — comes with a handy magazine or book stand built right in. Not only does it offer extra storage, but it also creates a unique display. This versatile piece works just as well in a living room as it does as a nightstand in a bedroom. After reading through the reviews, it seems many people are using it to display their record players on top and vinyls on the bottom. So many possibilities!
Price: $99.99
Now, I know what you're going to say: yes, this is double my $50 budget, but look at it! Red and black are a match made in heaven in this side table! It would pair beautifully with slate gray or emerald green — and lots of chrome metallic accents. Its sleek, asymmetrical design is something I haven’t really seen before, which says a lot coming from a style editor who looks at these things every day. Now, I’ll be the first to admit this listing has no reviews yet, but most of the brand’s offerings are well-reviewed, typically in the 4 to 5-star range, so if you’re into this style, I’d say it’s a solid bet!
