Choosing the Right Coffee Table

A coffee table should be chosen based on your sofa, the available space, and how you will use it every day. Here are the key factors to consider before ordering.

Height: Match the Sofa Seat

For maximum comfort, choose a table that is roughly the same height as your sofa seat, or slightly lower. Most coffee tables are between 40 and 45 cm high. Measure your seat height before choosing: the exact height of each model is indicated on its product page.

Size: About Two-Thirds the Length of the Sofa

A coffee table that is about two-thirds the length of the sofa creates a balanced look:

Sofa Recommended table length (approx.)
2-seater (150 to 170 cm) 100 to 110 cm, or a round / nesting table
3-seater (190 to 220 cm) 120 to 140 cm
Corner sofa Square or round table, placed facing the corner

Leave about 40 to 45 cm between the sofa and the table: enough space to walk around, but close enough to set down a drink without getting up.

Shape: Depending on the Room and Use

  • Rectangular: the most practical option in front of a straight sofa, with the most usable surface area.
  • Round: with no corners, it makes it easier to move around and softens the look of a compact living room.
  • Square: ideal in front of a corner sofa or between two seats.
  • Nesting: two tables that fit together, which can be separated when you have guests. Perfect for small spaces.

Lift-Top Coffee Table: Living Room, Dining, and Remote Work

The top lifts up and brings it closer to the sofa, allowing you to eat while watching a movie or set down a laptop without leaning over. Most often, storage is hidden beneath the top. Before buying, check the product page for the height with the top raised and the weight capacity.

Materials and Care

  • Wood-Effect Panels (MDF, Particleboard): lightweight, easy to care for, and available in many styles.
  • Solid Wood: heavier and more authentic, with a visible grain.
  • Metal: black legs for an industrial look and good stability.

A soft, slightly damp cloth is enough for routine care. The exact materials are specified on each product page.

For a cohesive living room, pair your table with a TV stand in similar tones.
