If we had to choose one piece of furniture that amplifies modern apartment living, it would be a C-shaped side table. After hitting the design scene hard in the past decade (though the handy table shape dates much further back), the furnishing is widely available at most stores that cater to a young, city-dwelling market.
The curved, three-sided table — also commonly referred to as a C table — is everything small space dwellers love: It’s tiny, easy to move, serves a multitude of functions, and can be used in almost any room. Personally, if I’m home and not asleep, there’s a 90% chance I’m on my couch — it’s my home office (I’m on my couch as I type this), my dining nook, my entertainment zone, and my craft room all rolled up into one.
When I discovered the multi-tasking wonder that is the C side table, it was love at first sight. My own tiny C table tucks around the edge of a sofa and is just as good at holding a laptop as it is at balancing a beer.
With tons of options available online, we scoured the web and rounded up 15 of the best C tables around — most of which can be snagged for less than $150. Shop our favorites below, right from the comfort of (you guessed it) your couch.

We love acrylic furniture because it's extremely stylish but also takes up minimal visual space, making it a great solution for small-space living. Since this handy table is on wheels, it's easy to move it around your space as needed. And, since it has two shelves, it could also moonlight as a stylish modern bar cart.
