What are Nesting Tables ?
Also known as Stackable Tables or Nested Table Set, Nesting Tables are
small tables that are designed to be stacked onto and within one
another. Nesting tables generally come in sets of three. Each table is
slightly smaller than the other and this allows the nesting table set to
slid beneath each other. It should always be noted that nesting tables
are not stacked in the sense that one table will rests its weight on top
of the other. Rather, each table has feet that rest on the floor while
the second table is able to fit right above it and then the third table.
Purpose of Nesting Tables in
Living room
Nesting tables are essential for a variety of reasons such as:
- When several guests are invited to your home and more table
space is needed, you can use all the three tables. Otherwise,
neatly store the tables under one another when not in use.
- Some families prefer to use the nesting tables to dine off if
they decide to have dinner in the living room rather than in the
dining room.
- These tables can also be used for playing board games, such
as chess, cards.
- Nesting tables can also be used to hold plants or other
knickknacks when needed and then they can easily be replaced to
their original-stacked position.
- Nesting tables are great when kept together or are also
fabulous when separated.
Styles of Nesting Tables
Nesting tables are not very large. The largest table is usually about
20-30 inches wide or less. Each subsequent table is only slightly
smaller so that it is able to fit beneath the larger table. The range of
nesting tables reflects modern lifestyles and emphasizes various styles.
Nesting Tables are made of various materials like wood, steel, wrought
iron, grass, wicker etc. Wood nesting tables are very popular. Made of
various wood like teak, oak, pine, mahogany, cherry, walnut etc. the
wooden nesting tables are given various finishings like wax, varnishes,
oils, shellacs, lacquers and water-based finishes. Various finishes with

an interesting look to the entire room.
