What to Look for in a Coffee Table

Material

There are a large number of materials used to make coffee tables, each of which offers its own benefits and drawbacks. Solid wood is one of the most durable options, but it’s often fairly expensive and quite heavy, which can make your coffee table hard to move. Tables with metal bases are another durable choice, and the price is often driven down by swapping in steel in place of wood. Other popular materials include glass, which is attractive but can break easily, and particleboard, which is extremely affordable but lacks long-term durability.

Shape and Size

Coffee tables are available in many shapes—square, rectangular, circular, and oval, just to name a few—so you’ll want to look at different options to see what appeals to you the most and would fit well in your space. In general, rectangular or oval coffee tables work well for smaller rooms, while square or round options help to anchor large seating areas.

There’s also the matter of finding a coffee table that’s an appropriate size for your room and furniture. A good rule of thumb is that your coffee table should be no more than two-thirds of your sofa’s total length, and it should be the same height as the seat of your sofa.

Features

While there are plenty of simple, no-frills coffee tables to choose from, you may also want to consider an option with additional functionality. Some coffee tables have shelves, drawers, or other storage compartments where you can tuck away blankets or other living room essentials, and others have lift-top surfaces that can be raised to make it easier to eat or work on them.
