A coffee table is a style of long, low table most commonly found in a living room or lounge which is designed to be placed in front of (or next to) a sofa or upholstered chairs to support beverages like coffee - hence the name. Coffee tables are also generally home to magazines, books (especially large, illustrated coffee table books), decorative objects, and other small items to be used while sitting, such as beverage coasters.

It's amazinghow changing out the coffee table if your lounge room can give it a whole new look. Just swap out a whitewashed shabby chic coffee table for an timber & steel industrial coffee table and even if the rest of your furninture remains the same, the entire room takes on a completely different character!
Variations of the Coffee Table
The coffee table is a piece of furniture available in many different variations and prices vary from style to style. East Connection has a wide range of reasonably priced coffee tables to fit in with any décor from our Eclectica retro coffee table with it’s angled legs and unique drawers, to a handpainted coffee table made to mimic bone inlay, to the Bay Sands whitewashed coffee table that would be equally at home in a Hamptons style room or a French Provincial interior.
Blanket box or coffee table? You decide!
Coffee tables aren’t limited to your classic table shape either, but may also incorporate cabinets or drawers for storage. Of course, a blanket box can also be used in the bedroom for additional clothing/linen storage but many chests or wooden blanket boxes can also serve double duty as a coffee table. A blanket box is very practical when used as a coffee table as it has lots of room for storage to keep things in your living room tidy like toys, cushions or even spare linens for your sofa bed.
