Furniture ensemble with sofa table island

摘要

A furniture ensemble includes a tuxedo sofa, a two-level sofa table island piece adapted to be disposed behind the tuxedo sofa, stools or other additional seating behind the sofa table island piece, and an ottoman or, alternatively, a cocktail table with nesting footstools for further seating. The sofa table island piece has a front horizontal shelf member supported between left and right side walls and a rear counter top member a few inches higher than the front shelf. The front horizontal shelf member of the island piece is at the same level as the top of the sofa back. An open space is formed below the counter top member. Stools or similar seating units with their seat portions higher than the sofa seating space are removably stored in the island piece. This group provides seating for a group of persons with an unobstructed view of activities taking place ahead of the furniture ensemble.
