Best Coffee Tables to Bring Elegance and Functionality to Your Living Room

If you’re looking for a piece of furniture that could serve as a coffee table and then some on top of it, this lift top coffee table from Sauder might be able to catch your interest. 

At first glance, this model is an ordinary coffee table. Its rectangular wooden design looks simple and stylish at the same time to highlight a classic interior. It’s sturdy enough to hold not only your cups of coffee and snacks but also other things like souvenirs or books. But once you have a closer look, you’ll notice that this table has something more to offer you. It is equipped with 2 shelves and a storage space hidden under the top that greatly extends the functionality of this model.

 Taking into account its fairly large size with 43.1" x 19" x 19.5" in overall dimensions, one can infer that the storage space and the shelves will provide enough space to keep the larger items there (like blankets, for instance). But what we liked most about this model is that it boasts a lift top that turns this table into a spacious working area in a single movement. Once you lift the top, it will become higher so you can work comfortably even while sitting on a sofa, and a large top surface allows you to put your laptop and materials you need for work on it in a convenient manner.

Those who prefer stones as a part of the interior won’t be able to stay indifferent to Dorel marble coffee table. Plus, this table will definitely come to your liking if the combination of modern and classic styles in one room sounds like something that'd attract you. 

Made of wood and faux marble, the Dorel table is quite durable and attractive at the same time. Although the table looks simple – just a rectangular piece of furniture with 4 legs – it can serve you like a coffee table, a desk, and a storage space for your items. It has become possible thanks to a lift top. Once you lift it, you’ll get a great working area to put your laptop on or work with papers. And under the top, you’ll find some free space where you could put some stuff to make your room less cluttered. 

The only thing we want you to keep in mind is that the Dorel lift top coffee table requires some maintenance. Of course, you want its surface to look as good as new even after years of use, so it’s recommended to clean it from time to time with a soft damp cloth (try to avoid using abrasives). 

One more important thing you want to remember is that the lifting mechanism needs to be greased regularly to function flawlessly.

If you are a fan of modern interior styles that are all about convenience and don’t tend to an abundance of details and furniture in the interior, the VASAGLE coffee table will definitely catch your fancy.

At a glance, you will like the minimalistic and straightforward design of this model. A combo of smoothly polished wooden top with a classy black-matte frame has a strong rustic appeal with some sort of vintage flair to it. Meanwhile, a lower shelf made of metal mesh lends a distinct industrial vibe. As such, the table will stand out great against light wooden floors and low-pile carpets or rugs with no catchy ornament. Thanks to a thought-out mix of colors, wood, and metal, the VASAGLE coffee table will nicely fit into high-tech, industrial, loft, and fusion interiors that prioritize practicality with minimum details.

Coming down to the table construction, it is well-engineered and will really impress you with its durability and dependability. While a grid shelf can handle up to 88 lbs of weight, the tabletop will withstand the load of about 265 lbs that makes the item good not only as a coffee table but also as a TV stand or a storage console. And given its overall dimensions of 41.8” x 17.7” x 23.7”, you’ll have enough storage space both for some trifles and for larger and bulkier items.

It should be noted that this coffee table does need assembly that might take you some time and effort. On the bright side, though, all the hardware and detailed instructions are included in the package. And once you put it together, you’ll get a solid piece of furniture that will serve you for years. So, it is worth some fuss in the end.

As sturdy and versatile as it is, the VASAGLE coffee table will make a stylish and functional addition to any living room, studio, or entertainment area. And we can’t but spot a fairly reasonable price tag that will sell it on you straight away.
