Product Insights

The Tobias Side Table by Gus* provides a 22-inch typing height that keeps forearms relaxed and wrists neutral during laptop use from a sofa, fitting a 13–14 inch laptop and compact mouse side by side on its 18-inch width, though its 12-inch depth leaves about 3.5 inches in front and an external mouse may hang off. Integrated rubber bumpers prevent sliding on hard floors but stability may decrease on carpet. The table ships fully assembled, saves floor space, and features a walnut wood veneer with a low-VOC, non-yellowing water-based finish that requires avoiding hot mugs and prolonged spills. Its 22-inch height aligns with sofa seating, and its slim profile fits tight spaces while coordinating with other Gus* furniture for a unified aesthetic.

Verified claims

Typing height
22-inch height keeps forearms relaxed and wrists neutral while typing from a sofa.
Laptop fit
An 18-inch width fits a 13–14-inch laptop and a compact mouse side by side; the 12-inch depth leaves about 3.5 inches in front, but an external mouse will likely hang off the edge.
Stability
Integrated rubber bumpers provide anti-slip grip on hard floors; on carpet or uneven surfaces, the table may wobble because the bumpers are designed for flat, firm surfaces.
Assembly
Ships fully assembled, ready to use out of the box.
Dimensions
12×18×22-inch profile saves floor space and fits a laptop at ergonomic height.
Base design
A black metal C-shaped frame slides under sofa or chair seating to position the tabletop over the lap without taking much floor space.
Finish
The water-based clear coat is durable for common spills if wiped promptly, but it is less heat-resistant than oil-based finishes—avoid placing hot mugs directly on the surface and wipe up standing moisture to prevent water spots.
Non-yellowing
Water-based finish stays clear, does not yellow with age.
Indoor air quality
Low-VOC finish releases few volatile organic compounds.
Veneer
Walnut wood veneer with clear water-based finish and unique grain from multi-panel construction.
Design cohesion
Shares a calibrated design language with Gus* sofas and storage pieces, allowing a unified room without mixing disparate side tables.
Seating alignment
22-inch height aligns with sofa seating; 12-inch depth is slimmer than typical tables for tight spaces.
Veneer species
The veneer on the Tobias Side Table is walnut.
Veneer appearance
The brown veneer is walnut with a rich, warm brown color and natural grain variation; the tray uses multiple panels arranged in a dynamic pattern, so grain direction and figure vary across the surface and each piece is unique.

Tobias Side Table: Choose this if you want a side table designed to sit at an ideal height for using a laptop or tablet from a chair or sofa: its black metal C-shaped frame with a flat base slides under seating so the wood veneer tray top cantilevers over your lap area. It measures 22 inches high by 18 inches wide by 12 inches deep, arrives fully assembled, and comes in brown wood veneer with a clear water-based finish. Note that sitting on the table is not recommended.[1,2,3]Round Walnut Grooved Side Table: Choose this if you want a compact accent table for a living room, in a small 17 inch (43 cm) diameter by 17 inch high size with a round, flat walnut top and a fluted cylindrical base of vertical slats that the merchant describes as evoking ancient Doric columns. The walnut wood carries a matte, oil-based Rubio Monocoat finish the merchant calls durable, with non-slip plastic bumpers meant to protect floor surfaces. Note that some assembly is required.[4,5,6]Monarch Royal Oak End Table: Choose this if you want a sculptural, asymmetrical oak accent table with organic shapes and visible wood grain that blends into a modern living room, and you'd like it to nest with the matching Monarch coffee table (sold separately). It's made of solid, responsibly sourced oak with a low VOC finish of plant-based waxes and oils, three dowel legs, adjustable non-marking leveler feet for uneven floors, and easy assembly with hardware and instructions included. It stands about 20.5 inches tall with a roughly 24.5 by 20.5 inch top, and note that sitting on it is not recommended.[7,8,9]
