Coffee Table

A coffee table serves two functions—its practical role is to provide a surface to hold items and its aesthetic purpose is to add style. Most often used in a living or family room, it's a low-sitting table that sometimes has a lower shelf or drawers for additional storage and is typically round or rectangular in shape, although oval and square coffee tables are also popular choices. When it comes to its construction, you will find coffee tables in almost any material—from wood, metal, or rattan, to plastic, acrylic, and marble.
