Okay, hear me out: it's time to give side tables the hype they deserve. Sure, when you're "adulting," scouring the internet for the best side tables may not be the most exciting purchase to make (duh, that's what cordless vacuums are for), but I think we can all agree that they're the unsung hero when it comes to home decor. Not only are they great for small spaces and holding your drink while you binge-watch your favorite show, but they can instantly revamp any room, no matter what your decor style is.
Let's be real, though, keeping up with the latest interior design trends and upgrading your space can get a bit pricey (looking at you, dreamy cloud sofa). But that's the best part about end tables—you can find some real design gems without breaking the bank. And, since we're balling on a budget here, what better place to find some affordable furniture than with a quick search on Amazon? After all, they kinda have everything you could wish for.

Below, I did some digging to bring you some of the most stylish and multi-functional end table options available on Amazon. From sleek modern styles to hints of boho rattan and tables with built-in charging stations (!!!), let's get into it, shall we?
Simple, boho, and two tiers to store your favorite decor. Need we say more? And, for our plant lovers, there's plenty of space on the bottom shelf for a statement vase and plant situation.
✨Top it with: Jungalow's White Wavy Vase
This rattan end table looks straight out of Dakota Johnson's midcentury-modern home tour, and we honestly couldn't ask for more. Plus, it has a spot to display your favorite magazine (*cough* Cosmo *cough*).
✨Top it with: Gantri Word Table Light
Three table tops are better than one with this modern tiered end table. The minimal gold and white design is perfect for displaying small vases, sculptures, or candles and holding your drink and book.
✨Top it with: Jungalow Dried Yellow Billy Ball Bouquet
Let's set the scene: You're having some friends over and every surface in your apartment has been taken over by a charcuterie board or trinkets you swore you needed to bring back from your Euro summer. But wait, you just remembered you have this set of stackable end tables and just like that you've got extra room for your BFFs to set down their homemade cocktails.
✨Top it with: Estelle Colored Glass Stemmed Wine Glasses
This small, narrow table is literally a match made in heaven for small spaces. Whether you need it to set aside your morning coffee, a surface to eat your microwavable dinner on, or use it solely to store your favorite magazines (again, *cough* Cosmo *cough*), it's a small little thing that can make a b-i-g difference in your space.
✨Top it with: Chic Checkered Mug by Martina Palacios
Let's be real here—having the perfect end table for small spaces is nice and all, but having a charging station actually built into the table is a complete game changer! No need to look for an available outlet hidden by some heavy ass piece of furniture. Just simply plug your chargers and cords into the side of the end table for an easy charge.
✨Top it with: Courant Catch: 3 Essentials - Wireless Charging Station and Valet Tray
Consider this visual proof that end tables don't have to be boring. This acrylic home accessory is available in three colors, including Barbie pink, and we can confirm that it's just as groovy as this warm-toned orange one.
✨Top it with: DekorHausStudio Striped Mushroom Lamp
Small space that needs a little extra storage, please meet this rattan table. Don't let the compact design fool you, though—there's a top shelf (you know, for your lamp and multiple empty mugs), a middle shelf to house a coffee table book for all the boho home inspo you've ever wanted, and even a drawer to hide annoying clutter away.
✨Top it with: The New Bohemians: Cool & Collected Homes by Justina Blakeney
Along with this very aesthetic green, this table is available in terracotta, pink, blue, and of course, your classic black and white shades. Oh, and want to know a little secret? The drawer front looks like two drawers, but is actually one deep drawer that gives you allll the space to store larger items out of sight and out of mind.
✨Top it with: DHYXZCA White Ceramic Face Vase
A little touch of luxury never hurt anyone! This round end table instantly makes any space look more put together, and makes it look like you've actually got the hang of this whole "adulting" thing...even if all you did was add this gold-accented side table in your living area.

Although it may not hold much more than your favorite candle and bedside book, if it's simplicity you're going for, look no further than this rectangular end table. The waterproof white top and wooden legs are a minimalist's dream combo and pretty much go with any interior theme you've got going on already.
✨Top it with: Goodee Crushed Mint Candle
This one is dedicated to all the music lovers out there. If that happens to be you, then I'm sure you've been in the situation where you're telling yourself, "No, I don't need another vinyl record." But, of course, we all know it's hard to pass up on grabbing yet another one from your favorite artist. Luckily, this table is the absolute perfect excuse to store and add a few more to your record collection.
