Great question! The tables that are specifically designed to go behind a couch are called sofa tables. You'll also frequently hear them referred to as console tables.
While the terms are often used interchangeably, a sofa table is typically designed to be the same height or just a bit shorter than the back of the sofa it's paired with. Console tables are a broader category of long, narrow tables that can be used in many places, such as entryways or hallways, but they are very commonly used behind a couch as well.
So, whether you search for a "sofa table" or a "console table," you'll find the right piece of furniture for that space. They're a perfect way to add lamps, photos, and other decor to your living room.
