Tables
Tables in Saudi Arabia — every room in the home rests on its tables: the coffee table in front of the sofa, the side table beside it, the dining table where the family gathers. At RIS you will find elegant tables in marble, brass, natural wood and glass — coffee tables, side tables, dining tables and consoles with a refined finish made for Saudi living rooms, majlis and dining rooms. Start with our coffee tables or complete the seating with a luxury dining table.

One Page for Every Table in the Home
This collection is the umbrella for all RIS tables, so you can compare shapes and materials side by side before you decide where each piece belongs. A well-furnished Saudi home usually combines three or four table types: a coffee table anchoring the living room, side tables within reach of every seat, a dining table sized to your gatherings, and often a console in the entryway or behind the sofa. Buying them in one material family — all marble and brass, or warm wood throughout — makes separate rooms feel like one sophisticated home.
Coffee Tables, Side Tables, Dining Tables — What Is the Difference?
- Coffee tables sit low in the centre of the seating, about two-thirds the length of the sofa. Browse the dedicated coffee table collection for the full size and styling guide.
- Side tables stand beside a sofa, chair or bed at about arm height — for a lamp, a book or your coffee cup. See the side table collection.
- Dining tables are the largest piece in the home, sized by seats: allow about 60 cm of table edge per person, and 90 cm of space around the table for chairs and serving.
Marble, Brass, Wood or Glass?
Marble-top tables are the premium signature of Saudi interiors — cool, luminous and formal enough for a majlis. Brass and metal frames add a bold, elegant gleam and pair with wall lamps and mirrors. Natural wood tables bring warmth and suit family rooms used every day, while glass keeps small rooms feeling light and open. Many of the most refined designs mix two materials: a marble top on a brass base gives you luxury and strength in one piece.
How to Choose the Right Table for Each Room
Measure the space first, then choose the shape. Leave 40–50 cm between a coffee table and the sofa, and keep walkways around dining tables at 90 cm or more so chairs pull out comfortably. Round tables soften small rooms and homes with children; rectangular tables suit long sofas and classic dining rooms; a pair of small tables is often more flexible in a majlis than one oversized piece. When in doubt, one elegant table with room to breathe looks more luxurious than two crowded ones.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of tables does a living room need?
A living room needs one coffee table in front of the sofa and one or two side tables within reach of the seats. Leave 40–50 cm between the coffee table and the sofa. Add a console behind the sofa or in the entryway in larger rooms, keeping all tables in one material family.
What is the difference between a coffee table, a side table and a console?
A coffee table is low and sits centrally in front of the sofa, about two-thirds of the sofa's length. A side table is taller — roughly sofa-arm height — beside a seat or bed for a lamp, book or cup. A console is long and narrow, placed against a wall, behind a sofa or in an entryway.
How do I choose a dining table size?
Allow about 60 cm of table edge per person: a 180–200 cm table seats six, and a 220–240 cm table seats eight. Leave at least 90 cm between the table and walls or furniture so chairs pull out and serving is easy. Measure the room first — the table plus 90 cm on every side is its true footprint.
Marble or wood table — which is better?
Marble is the more luxurious, formal choice — it stays cool and suits majlis and dining rooms, but needs coasters and fast spill care. Wood is warmer and more forgiving in busy family rooms. Many Saudi homes use marble where guests gather and wood where the family lives daily.
Are brass tables a good choice for Saudi homes?
Yes — brass tables suit Saudi homes well, bringing a warm, premium gleam that matches brass lamps and mirror frames. Keep the finish rich by wiping with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding harsh sprays. Brass works best as one repeated metal across the room rather than a single mixed piece.
What table is best for a small living room?
A round coffee table in glass or light marble is the best choice for a small living room — it keeps sight lines open and has no sharp corners. Pair it with one slim side table beside the sofa. Two smaller, elegant tables give more flexibility than one oversized table that crowds the room.
How much space should I leave around a dining table?
Leave at least 90 cm on all sides of a dining table. That clearance lets chairs slide out fully and leaves room to serve and walk behind seated guests. In large majlis-style dining rooms, extra clearance beyond 90 cm keeps the setting feeling generous and calm.
Can I mix different table materials in one room?
Yes — mix table materials if one element repeats across the pieces, such as the metal finish or the stone. A marble coffee table with brass side tables works because the brass or the marble echoes. Limit the room to two materials so the result looks sophisticated rather than random.
What is a console table used for?
A console table holds lamps, trays, books and decorative objects in an entryway, behind a sofa or along a dining room wall. Because it is long and narrow, it adds surface without taking floor space. In Saudi homes it often becomes the serving point for coffee and dates near the majlis door.
How do I protect a marble table top?
Protect a marble table top with coasters under hot cups and a tray under the dallah. Wipe spills — especially coffee, tea and lemon — immediately, and clean only with a soft, damp cloth. Never use vinegar or strong cleaners on marble, as acids dull the polish and etch the surface.
Do glass tables suit homes with children?
Yes — tempered glass tables are strong and safe for homes with children, and they keep small rooms feeling light. Choose rounded corners for extra peace of mind. The only trade-off is upkeep: glass shows fingerprints faster than wood or stone, so expect a quick daily wipe.
Do you deliver tables outside Riyadh and Jeddah?
Yes — RIS delivers tables to all regions of Saudi Arabia, free in main cities on orders of 2,500 SAR or more. Marble and stone tops travel with extra protective packing. Each product page confirms the delivery details for that table before you order.
Where can I see RIS tables before buying?
You can see RIS tables at the Jeddah showroom, comparing marble, brass and wood finishes in natural light. Check sizes side by side against your room measurements before ordering. The team can also help you plan which table types — coffee, side, dining, console — your rooms actually need.
How long should a coffee table be?
A coffee table should be about two-thirds the length of your sofa. For a three-seat sofa around 220 cm long, that means a table of roughly 140–150 cm. Leave 40–50 cm between the table and the sofa so legs stretch comfortably and cups stay within easy reach.
