Coffee Tables
Coffee tables for the lounge, from 40cm squares to 110cm ovals. Styles include lift-top tables with hidden storage, nesting sets, round marble-effect tables, LED high gloss tables and glass tops.
Materials cover engineered wood, solid teak, mango, acacia, pine and reclaimed wood, plus powder-coated steel and aluminium for outdoor use.
What size coffee table should I get?
Choose a table about two-thirds the length of your sofa, and keep it 40–45cm high so it sits near seat height.
| Room or sofa | Size to look for | Shape |
|---|---|---|
| Small flat, 2-seater | 40–70cm wide | Round or square |
| 3-seater sofa | 90–110cm long | Rectangle or oval |
| Modular or L-shaped sofa | 80–100cm square | Square or nesting set |
| Busy family room | Any size | Round or oval, no sharp corners |
What is a lift-top coffee table?
A lift-top coffee table has a top that raises towards you, so it doubles as a laptop desk or dinner tray.
Underneath is a hidden compartment for remotes, magazines and chargers. Some also add drawers or an open shelf. Lift-top designs come in black, white, beige and natural wood finishes.
Are nesting coffee tables practical?
Yes. Nesting tables slide together to save space and pull apart when you need more surface.
They come in sets of 2 or 3, in marble effect, high gloss white, natural timber and rough mango wood. Spread them out when guests visit, then tuck them back in.
How do I look after a solid wood coffee table?
Use coasters, wipe spills straight away and keep the table out of strong direct sun.
Teak, mango, acacia and reclaimed wood have natural grain and colour changes, so no two tables look exactly alike. A light coat of furniture oil now and then keeps the surface looking fresh.
Can I use a coffee table outside?
Only if it is made for outdoor use, such as powder-coated steel, aluminium, poly rattan or bamboo garden tables.
Indoor engineered wood tables can swell if they get wet, so keep those inside.
Can I pay it off?
Yes. Pay with Afterpay or Zip, or check out with PayPal. A $123.27 Sonoma oak coffee table is four fortnightly Afterpay payments of $30.82.
