There haven’t been many changes to table design in the past century. They still hold objects, they’re usually made out of wood and you still sit near them in a chair. It’s hard to upgrade a piece of furniture that has been around for hundreds of years, but our dependence on electronic devices caused some furniture makers to get creative.
These days, there are some tables that can charge your electronic devices. You won’t have to grumble about trying to find an available outlet in your home anymore, watch your kids unplug your phone to charge theirs instead or unplug another home appliance to charge up. Wouldn’t that be a game-changer to have an outlet or USB port right in your table? You’ll save lots of steps walking over to the nearest outlet to check if you got any texts.
We rounded up the best tables with charging stations. If you’re thinking that a table with electronic capabilities has to look as modern as an office desk, you’re wrong. There are stylish options that will blend right in with your home decor. They don’t scream “I charge phones!” — instead they advertise that they’re durable end tables and nightstands that just happen to be able to charge your tablet.
Most of the tables also come in different colors, so you can modify the table to your design needs. One of our options even comes with a built-in bonus lamp so you won’t have to worry about your kids accidentally knocking the lamp over.
