How to choose a coffee table

Round or rectangular

Round coffee tables are among the most searched styles, as they suit small lounge rooms and are easier to walk around. Two tier round tables add a lower shelf for books or baskets. Rectangular tables line up with long sofas and give more surface for drinks and games.

Height and size

Choose a table about the same height as your sofa seat, or a few centimetres lower, usually 40 to 45 cm. Keep around 45 cm between the table and the sofa so legs and feet have room.

Storage options

  • Lower shelves: keep magazines and remotes out of the way.
  • Drawers: hide coasters, chargers and kids' bits.
  • Lift top tables: raise the top to laptop height, handy in small apartments.

A few tables include LED lights for a modern look.

Materials and finish

Engineered wood is the most common material, in white, black and wood tones such as walnut. Marble look and stone tops give a premium finish, while ribbed timber and rattan suit a relaxed style. Metal frames add an industrial feel.

Price guide

Coffee tables start from about $30, with most around $100. Pull the room together with a rug underneath and a matching TV unit, or browse more living room furniture.

Coffee Tables: common questions

What size coffee table do I need?

A good rule of thumb is about two thirds the length of your sofa. Height should be about the same as your sofa seat, or slightly lower, typically 40 to 45 cm. Leave about 45 cm of space between the table and the sofa for legs and walking.

Are round coffee tables good for small spaces?

Yes. Round tables have no sharp corners, take up less visual space and are easier to walk around, which suits small living rooms and homes with kids. A two tier round table adds a lower shelf for storage without taking more floor space.

Do you have black coffee tables?

Yes, black is one of the main colours in the range, alongside white and wood tones. Use the colour filter at the top of this page to show only black coffee tables, then narrow by shape or material.

Can I use a coffee table as a side table?

Smaller coffee tables can work as side tables next to a sofa or armchair. Check the height, as side tables usually sit a little taller, closer to the height of the sofa arm.

Do coffee tables need assembly?

Most need simple assembly, usually screwing in the legs or attaching a shelf. Tables with drawers or lift tops take longer. Many listings are marked easy assembly, and the product page lists what is included.

How much weight can a coffee table hold?

It depends on the material and build. Solid timber and metal frames usually hold more than lighter engineered wood. Check the weight capacity on the product page if listed, and avoid sitting or standing on the table.
