Where great style meets function.

A coffee table can command the room with effortless elegance. The secret to finding the best coffee table is knowing the style, size, and price point that compliments your lifestyle. You can use a coffee table to cleverly store candles and games or bring charm to your space with decorative accents. As functional centerpieces, they're the secret to finishing your living room. Of course, your coffee table should be proportionate to your couch (a high table paired with a low couch makes for awkward lounging). All in all, it's an important piece of furniture, so to help you on your quest to elevate your space, we found the top styles to choose from. Whether you lean toward midcentury modern or glamorous art deco, there are coffee tables crafted with your aesthetic in mind.

Our list includes glass coffee tables, compact nesting tables, and even a silhouette featuring cozy ottomans. We also searched for different shapes and sizes for the apartment dweller who uses a coffee table for dining or the family in need of an organized entertainment hub for the TV. Go ahead and scroll for the best coffee tables of 2022 for every style and price point.

Size: It's very important to know the size of your living room and couch. If you're in a studio apartment, choosing a coffee table that takes up the room will swallow up the limited space available. Pro tip: make sure your coffee table is no more than two-thirds of your sofa's total length. It should be the same height as the cushions of your sofa.

Style & Function: There are countless coffee tables available online. Narrowing down what works in your space is all about the purpose your coffee table will serve. Choose from circle, rectangle, or abstract tabletops to display your favorite vase and coffee table books. Or you can snag a pick with hidden storage as a home for your TV remote. Overall, countless coffee tables have shelving, built-in storage, or even additional seating.

Material: Wood, marble, metal, glass, wicker—there's so much to choose from! Depending on your preference, the pros and cons of certain materials won't affect you. If you have curious pets or little ones, choosing a glass table might not be the best option. For those looking for a statement piece, a metal drum coffee table can command the room, but the downside is that it lacks storage space.

Budget: We found coffee tables that were under $500 and options over $2,000. You don't have to break the bank to score a chic coffee table—it's up to what is accessible for your lifestyle.

Maintaining the quality of your coffee table comes down to the material it's made of. A glass cleaner and cloth can keep your glass table spotless, but it wouldn't work well on different surfaces. If it's real wood, use mild detergent and water. A stone cleaner and a soft cloth are needed to clean a marble table. We suggest keeping coasters on standby as a thoughtful preventative measure for keeping your coffee table ring, stain, and smudge-free.
