IKEA LACK Table Dimensions: Will It Fit Your Room?
The LACK coffee table and side table sizes, how far from the sofa and a quick way to try one in your room.
The IKEA LACK coffee table is 35 3/8 in long, 21 5/8 in wide and 17 3/4 in high (90 × 55 × 45 cm). The side table is 21 5/8 in (55 cm) square and the same height. Keep a coffee table 12 to 18 in (30 to 45 cm) from the sofa, and leave 24 to 28 in (60 to 70 cm) to walk past.
LACK Table Sizes
- Coffee table: 35 3/8 × 21 5/8 × 17 3/4 in (90 × 55 × 45 cm). Length, width and height.
- Large coffee table: 46 1/2 × 30 3/4 × 17 3/4 in (118 × 78 × 45 cm). Length, width and height. It suits a longer sofa.
- Side table: 21 5/8 × 21 5/8 × 17 3/4 in (55 × 55 × 45 cm). Square, and the same height as the coffee tables.
- Lower shelf (coffee tables): 7 7/8 in (20 cm) off the floor, with 7 1/2 in (19 cm) between the shelf and the top.
- Smaller side table: LACK is also made in a 13 3/4 in (35 cm) square size. Check the listing.
Space You Need Around It
The 35 3/8 in coffee table is short for a full-size sofa, and the large one suits a longer sofa. The gap to the sofa matters as much as the size.
- To the sofa, comfortable: 18 in (45 cm).
- To the sofa, tight: 12 in (30 cm).
- Walkway around it: 24 to 28 in (60 to 70 cm) on any side people walk.
- Next to a sofa arm: the side table's 21 5/8 in (55 cm) fits beside an arm, with room for the sofa's width plus the table.
Where It Fits
A 35 3/8 in table suits a loveseat of about 58 to 64 in, since a coffee table should be about two thirds the length of the sofa. The large 46 1/2 in table suits a sofa of about 70 in or more, and for an 84 in sofa it is a good match. Two side tables are another way to fill the space.
The tabletop is light, so check the weight limit on the listing before putting anything heavy on it.
