Sometimes a room shape or a furniture configuration doesn’t allow for a traditional coffee table set-up. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have a space to set your coffee or a book—just look into a console table. It may not be placed front and center (they generally hug the back of a couch or sofa), but it’ll let you get a bit creative. Maybe this high-quality acacia wood table sides up to a wall, or behind a set of lounge chairs.
Glass Coffee Tables
Tempered smoke-glass adds a bit of moodiness to this classic coffee table silhouette. If you’re after the look of a metal coffee table but you want something a bit different, you found it.

The base is made of American walnut veneer and engineered wood, while the top is constructed of tempered glass.
Just because you’re a fan of neutrals and simple shapes doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with your furniture—this glass-topped coffee table is proof.
