A round side table with a storage basket gives you somewhere to put a lamp, cup or book, as well as extra space for things that might otherwise get left lying around. However, a compact table doesn’t always look online as you expect it to in real life. The basket may be smaller than you thought, the tabletop may be too low, or a lightweight frame may slide on a smooth floor.
Use these buying tips to compare models by size, materials, stability and use. You’ll find a side table for the living room, a bedside table with a basket or a storage table for the bedroom to suit your space.
A small side table may seem ideal for a corner, but its height matters too. A table next to a sofa should be easy to reach. So measure not only the available width, but also the height of the armrest and the space around the table.
Also check the basket’s diameter. Some models have a base that takes up a relatively large amount of space, making the inside smaller than the outside measurements suggest.
A side table with a fabric basket is handy for throws, magazines, remote controls and toys. However, a polyester basket won’t offer the same support as a drawer or cupboard compartment. Heavy books or sharp objects can put unnecessary strain on the fabric.
So check the material, base and dimensions. A double layer of polyester, as used in several JOYFURNOS models, gives the basket a sturdier structure than a single thin layer. Use the basket as intended and don’t exceed its stated weight capacity.
A modern round table with black metal can look different on a light wooden floor than on a dark rug. Adjustable feet are worth considering too. They can help compensate for small uneven patches and distribute contact with the floor more evenly.
Choose a colour that works with your interior, but also check the edge finish, base and visible joints. A neutral beige or grey basket often suits a range of interior styles, while green or camel brown can add a more distinctive splash of colour.
For a compact side table, 45 x 45 cm or 45 x 50 cm is a common size in this selection. A height of around 50 cm often works well next to a sofa, armchair or bed, but always measure to make sure.
Leave enough room to walk around the table. In a narrow living room, a round shape may work better than a square model, as you’re less likely to bump into a sharp corner. A larger round occasional table with a diameter of 60 cm gives you more surface area, but takes up more floor space too.
Check the stated weight capacity of the tabletop, and distinguish between the top and the basket. The JOYFURNOS models have a stated maximum tabletop weight capacity of 35 kg. That doesn’t automatically mean the fabric basket can hold the same weight.
A combination of particle board, steel and polyester is common in lightweight, compact side tables. U-shaped steel legs can provide support, while adjustable feet help with stability and floor protection. After assembly, check that all the joints are secure and the table doesn’t wobble.
A fabric basket can usually be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth. Don’t leave wet laundry or damp items in the basket for long periods. A tabletop made from particle board or MDF should also be protected from prolonged exposure to moisture.
For a table with an artificial marble top, check the product information for cleaning advice. It may look luxurious, but an artificial marble surface isn’t the same as natural stone. Use suitable protection under hot, wet or scratchy items.
Why it suits this profile: This 45 x 50 cm round table takes up little space and pairs a neutral beige basket with a simple design for the living room, bedroom or student accommodation.
The product information lists the table and basket dimensions separately. This makes it easier to estimate the available storage space before you order.

Why it suits this profile: Measuring 70 x 70 x 72 cm, with a gold pedestal base, this table is a good choice if you’re looking for a more striking round coffee table for your living room or dining area.
Its larger size makes it clear that this isn’t a small side table for a narrow walkway. Measure your space beforehand to avoid choosing a table that’s too large.

That depends on the available space and the height of the bed. Measure the space beside the bed and check that the table won’t obstruct a bedside table, radiator or door. A model with a diameter of around 45 cm often works well in a compact bedroom, but you’ll need to make sure there’s still enough room to walk past.
A fabric basket is useful for lightweight items such as blankets, magazines, chargers and remote controls. Avoid putting damp items, sharp objects or heavy stacks in it. Check the stated dimensions before storing larger items.
Assemble all the parts according to the instructions, then check the joints. Place the table on a level surface and adjust the feet evenly. Spread heavy items across the tabletop, and don’t use the basket as a substitute for a heavily loaded cupboard compartment.
