side table


Explanation:
A Hocker is a stool. Since there's no such thing as a stool table, I would choose side table. It's a small table usually placed next to the sofa.

agree  Geri Linda Metterle: I would go with this one. I know of side tables and those usually look like a bigger stool.

neutral  Dr. Fred Thomson: Could you put it to the side of the stool; (to hold magazines, of course)?

  -> Don't see your point, Fred. The table is a side/end table or folding table. Who cares where you put it?
