As the weather starts to cool down, you might be wanting to spend more time at home, which means you might start eyeing ways to make your living room an even better place to, well, live — especially if your living room is small. This doesn’t have to mean huge revamps or big splurges. Some new decor or a little storage switch-up can make a big difference. There’s always something new to be found at Aldi, and this practical, versatile table is a great addition to your couch, guest room, bedroom, or even hallway.
What Is the Aldi SOHL Extra Large Couch Table?
Put simply, the Aldi SOHL Extra Large Couch Table is a C-shaped table that retails for $24.99 and is technically designed to be pressed up against any sofa. This couch table has two legs, not four, and a thin metal base that keeps it sturdy and elevated while leaving plenty of room underneath. You can pull the table directly against the side of a couch or bed, or use it as a desk in front of you without fear of accidentally kicking its legs.
If you have a small home, you may be confused about why I’m recommending a piece of furniture with “extra large” in the title. But as it turns out, this Aldi side table is not actually that “extra large.” It measures a little over 2 feet high, a little over a foot wide, and almost 2 feet long. Sure, it’s not tiny, but a table can’t be too small or you wouldn’t be able to fit anything on it. This should give you plenty of room for items like a laptop, a plate of food, a book, or those three beverages you keep by your side at all times.
An Alternative to Shop if You’re Not Near an Aldi
There are Aldi locations in 39 U.S. states, but if yours isn’t on that list (or if you just don’t feel like driving over there), you can still get your hands on a convenient little table for your couch. Walmart sells a similar C-shaped end table, with the same kind of wood top and black base. It’s currently quite discounted, bringing the price from $55.99 to just $28.95. If you want to get nitpicky, note that it’s about 2 inches shorter and narrower than the Aldi table, but all in all, it should be a solid alternative. It also comes in a two-pack for $50!
