Nesting tables are a great way to add additional table top space without taking up additional floor space.

Other perks:
- Whatever you have on top of them can usually stay whether they're in or out, providing a handy spot for remotes, books, magazines, etc. that you want to keep close at hand.
- When you're having company and need an additional spot to set a drink, pull them out and set them in convenient spots around the room. When the company leaves, they tuck conveniently back into their designated spot.
If you don't have nesting tables, how about creating your own with a couple of different tables that are sized so that one can fit within the other? This also creates a more unique look, and provides versatility to use the tables separately in different areas later on.
I'm a big fan of ceramic garden stools, and I think they are a great option for creating your own unique nesting tables by "nesting" one underneath another table, whether it be the living room end table or a table beside your bed.
Speaking of unique nesting tables, I thought these that I found via Design Sponge were interesting. They were designed by wuttke werks + so'mace. The tops are reclaimed whitewashed Douglas Fir and the metal is recycled rebar.
