Side Tables in Pakistan - Reception & Office

A side table (sometimes called an end table) is a small low table designed to sit next to a sofa, armchair or single-seater, used to hold a lamp, water glass, magazine or phone. In an office context, side tables flank reception sofas, sit beside executive cabin armchairs and accent waiting-room seating. Master Offisys side tables are manufactured in Pakistan by Master Group of Industries and are designed to pair with the Master Offisys sofa series and recliner range. Standard side table widths are 16-20 inches; standard 'coffee/side height' is 22-24 inches,  designed to match the armrest of a typical Pakistani office sofa. The collection covers minimalist wooden side tables, glass-top metal-frame designs, storage side tables with a single drawer, and tiered open-shelf designs. Frames are pine wood, engineered wood or powder-coated MS metal; tops include solid wood, tempered glass and marble-effect laminate. Nationwide delivery, fully assembled in most cases, BaadMay installment payment and cash on delivery available.

Choosing The Right Side Table: 

The right side table is the same height as the armrest of the sofa it sits next to (give or take 1-2 inches). A few decision points:

• With drawer or shelf  ideal if you keep magazines, remote controls or office stationery within reach

• Open / minimalist design lighter visual footprint; best for small reception areas or executive cabins

• Glass top with metal base easy to wipe clean; visually pairs well with leatherette sofas

• Wooden top warmer aesthetic; pairs better with fabric sofas and wooden flooring

• Matching set if you're buying a Master Offisys sofa, pick the side table from the same design line

Q. What is the standard side table height?

Standard Master Offisys side tables are 22-24 inches tall, designed to match the armrest height of a typical office sofa. This puts items on the table within easy reach of someone seated.

Q. What is the difference between a side table and an end table?

They are the same product. 'End table' is the more common term in some regions; 'side table' is the more common term in Pakistan. Master Offisys uses 'side table' across all collections and product page naming.

Q. Can I buy a single side table or only as a pair?

Both are available. Many customers buy a single side table to flank a reception sofa or accent an executive cabin armchair. Some sofa sets ship with a matching pair (one on each side).

Q. Do side tables come pre-assembled?

Most Master Offisys side tables are shipped fully assembled. Larger storage side tables with a drawer may require minimal assembly (attaching the drawer pull or feet),  clearly indicated on the product page.

Q. What is the difference between a side table and a coffee table?

A side table (end table) sits beside a sofa or armchair at armrest height, typically 22–24 inches tall and 16–20 inches wide. A coffee table sits in front of a sofa at a lower height, typically 16–20 inches tall and 36–48 inches wide. You use both together in a complete reception or lounge layout: coffee table in the centre, side tables at each arm.

Q. What material is best for a side table in a Pakistani office?

Glass-top side tables with metal frames are the most popular choice for Pakistani corporate reception areas, they are wipe-clean, visually lightweight and pair well with leatherette reception sofas. Wooden-top side tables suit fabric sofas and warmer interior aesthetics. Both are available across the Master Offisys side table range.

Q. Can a side table hold a lamp or telephone?

Yes, side tables are specifically designed for this. Standard Master Offisys side tables comfortably hold a table lamp, telephone, water glass or magazine at armrest height. Models with a drawer or lower shelf add extra storage for TV remotes, stationery or charging cables.

Q. What side table goes with a leather or leatherette sofa?

A glass-top side table with a chrome or matte black metal frame pairs best with leatherette sofas, the clean lines and reflective surfaces complement the upholstery finish. A wooden-top side table in walnut or oak works equally well if you want a warmer, more traditional office aesthetic. Both options are available in the Master Offisys side table range and coordinate with the sofa series.

Q. How many side tables do I need for a reception area?

The standard Pakistani reception layout uses two side tables,  one at each arm of a 3-seater sofa, plus one coffee table centred in front. For an L-shape sofa, one side table at the open end is sufficient. Master Offisys lists matching coffee and side table sets so you can order both in the same finish in a single order.
