coffee tables

Low living-room surfaces

A coffee table is a low table, typically placed in front of a sofa or seating area in a living room, designed to hold drinks, books, magazines, and decorative items.

The name derives from its convenient height for setting down coffee cups while seated.

Coffee tables come in countless styles and materials, from minimalist glass to rustic wood, and often serve as a focal point of room décor.

A coffee table book is an oversized, heavily illustrated book meant for casual browsing and visual display.
