Scope note
Long, narrow tables having drop leaves and usually drawers, popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. The sofa table was usually placed in front of a sofa, but could be placed behind it. Modern versions typically have no drop leaves and are placed behind the sofa. For smaller drop leaf tables often placed near sofas or other seats, see "Pembroke tables." For shorter tables without drop leaves that are placed in front of sofas, see "coffee tables."
