The coffee table is a staple furniture piece for residential living rooms, one which fronts sofas or ties together seating arrangements. Coffee tables are useful for holding temporary objects like drinks or papers, as well as longer-term decorative objects such as large books or potted plants. Often these tables are kept bare, simply used to divide a living space and to organize its circulation. For families or gatherings, the coffee table is often used as a multipurpose surface.
Coffee table products on the market are of all shapes and materials. Typically tables are low to the floor, 20 to 30 centimeters in height. Tabletop dimensions generally fall within the range of 60 to 80 centimeters deep and 120 to 140 centimeters in length. Wood, steel, stone, laminate, concrete, glass, fiberglass, plastic: all these materials are available to complete a space and complement its palette. Each material has its own characteristic weight, hardness and resistance to liquids and scratches.
The majority of the products on the market are rectangular, square, circular or elliptical in shape, though organic and polygonal forms are also available for those seeking a table which demands visual attention. Designs feature sharp or rounded corners to meet the demands of various room styles. Tables tend to be designed either as heavy, opaque blocks, or as lightweight tabletops set on fine legs; those which are more massive often are manufactured with drawers for storage or open shelving for the display of objects.
