#Cool coffee tables how to

Okay, we don’t all go down the who-cares-about-a-coffee-table route. How many hours do we put into choosing the perfect sofa, the perfect rug, the perfect chairs for our living room…only to throw in a hand-me-down coffee table that used to belong to Aunt Susan? (bless her heart).

With such a big, diverse job, you’d surmise that it would be one of the first furniture pieces you thought about when moving into a new place and/or re-decorating… except it’s usually not. It occasionally doubles as a stool (which we’re not endorsing, for legal reasons, but we won’t deny having done on occasion), a desk, or a craft table. It holds our drinks, remote controls, beloved tech devices, treasured trinkets, and, for better or worse, our take-out dinners at the end of a long day. But the coffee table is the workhorse of the living room.

Sofas get all the living room glory, and sure they keep us comfortable. Enjoy this quick little republish with updated shippable picks. That’s why we made this post so you don’t have to guess what size, shape, or type you need to make the perfect sofa match.
