occasional table

Small decorative stand

A small table not meant for a fixed spot—moved where needed for momentary use.

Occasional tables include end tables, coffee tables, and side tables, distinguished from dining tables or desks by their portability and secondary function: She set her drink on the occasional table by the sofa.
