When you will look for a small coffee table, you will come across various ones. And each of them will have both pros and cons. So, which one will best suites you? Well, before getting down to the review, there are a few things that you need to consider.
What to Consider
Each and every coffee table I have come across has its own unique twist on it. There are drawers, cabinets, storage space below, glass tops, wooden tops, metal poles, adjustable feet, and many more.
So, let’s check the basic things you need to consider before getting a coffee table. The first thing to determine is the size of the coffee table. There are various sizes from 15 inches to 40 inches. Also, there are different shapes on the top. The tops can be round, square, rectangle, oval, or in various different shapes.
Some coffee tables have cabinets and drawers. These are best if you have things to keep out of site. Such as remotes, coasters, and paper towels. These things can clutter your living room. But with a drawer, you can easily hide these items.
Most of the coffee tables have storage space below. This storage space can come in real handy in a lot of cases. Such as keeping the newspaper, a box of tissue, or any decor items for your living room. The bottom storage space can also have different shapes.
There are various different types of tops you can have on your coffee table. The top can be made out of glass or wood. The glass tops are really easy to clean. Buy also there is a risk of breaking it. On the other hand, wooden tops are durable but not as fancy as glass tops.
Metal poles usually increase the durability and stability of the coffee table. But the metal poles also make the coffee table look better. The adjustable feet are a really nifty feature. It allows you to adjust the height of your coffee table.
These are some common things about coffee tables. And you can find all of these features on the coffee tables I have reviewed. But, let me give you a glimpse of how I have selected these out of everything else.
How I selected 7 Best Coffee Tables for Small Living Rooms
There are endless amounts of coffee tables on the internet. I wanted something simple but elegant at the same time for my living room. In the search for that, I have gone through a lot of coffee tables.
But these are my top picks and personal favorites. Each of them is unique in there own way. So, let’s get started on the details about them.
Furinno Simple Design Coffee Table
The first coffee table I have here for you is the Furinno simple design coffee table. The best thing about this coffee table is on the name. Which is, this coffee table is simple. Both the features and looks of this coffee table are simple and basic.
This coffee table is compact and stylish. This is best if you live in a small place and you don’t want to clutter your house with a lot of furniture. The top of the coffee table is comparatively wider than the base of the table. This design allows you to keep more things on top while not taking up much space.
The materials used to make this coffee table is good and durable. The top of the coffee table is made out of pine wood while the rest of the table is made out of engineering wood.
The corner of the table is rounded, so you, or if there are any kid is less likely to get hurt from the table. This table is also budget-friendly. The price range for this table is around 30 to 40 dollars. Which is at the lower spectrum of all the tables I have here today.
Assembling with ease is a big matter for a lot of people. Cause not everyone has worked with wood or furniture. This coffee table comes with a detailed guide on how to build it with imaged instructions.
But there are 2 not-so-good things about this table. The storage space capacity is quite low. Also, there are no drawers or cabinets to keep things out of site. Other than that, this coffee table is an all-rounder.

Acllkswx Small Place Coffee Table
The second coffee table I have here is the Acllksws small place coffee table. This coffee table looks quite fancy and won’t drain your bank. Also, this coffee table has a few more features than the first one. The best thing about this coffee table is it looks quite fancy. You will see this coffee table has a 2 deck design. Which means there are different tops rather than one. Although the 2 tops are not at the same height. Which gives this table a more distinct look.
The deck above has a round top. Where the bottom deck has a squared top. This makes the table look like the bottom deck is a seat and the top deck is the table. But don’t use the bottom deck like a sit. The table isn’t capable of taking too much weight.
The top and bottom decks are made out of wood. But the frame of the table is made out of metal. This gives the table a lot of strength. There is also a wooden piece below the top deck between the frame. This piece of wood makes sure the metal frame doesn’t bend.
Adjustable feet are a great feature to have on something like a table. A lot of places can be crocked or uneven. In those cases, adjustable feet can make the table stand flat. The adjustable feet are screwed to the frame of the table. Or you can adjust the height of the table a few inches with these feet.
There are 2 available sizes for this table. 17 and 18 inches. Also, there is one difficult thing about this table. Which is it can be hard to assemble. Because of the two-deck design, the frame has a complicated way through. But if you are good with furniture, it won’t be a problem.

Vanrohe Small Round Coffee Table
The third table I have here is the Vanrohe round table. Even though the name says the table is small, in comparison to other tables I have here this is on the big side. But still, this would fit perfectly in a small living room. The best thing about this table is the storage space. The storage space below is quite big. So you can keep all the decor items your heart desires. But also, you can keep necessary things such as remotes, tissue boxes, newspapers, or even a tray of cups.
The bottom of the feet has a polished finish. So, your floor or carpet won’t get damaged if you drag your table. There are a total of 4 poles, so there are a total of 4 feet of the table.
When it comes to assembling the table, a lot of people fear damaging it. But there are clear and easy instructions given in the box. With the help of the instruction files. You can put this table together with ease.
But if you cannot put the table together properly, the table can wobble. And a table which wobbles is not useable. So make sure you are tightening the screws properly.
The structure of the table is quite wide and even throughout. So this makes the table sturdy and less prone to falling apart. The table is also capable to take big loads. It can take up to 220 lbs. But, don’t sit at the table.
On the last thing, the table is small, but it’s bigger than any other table I have here for you. So make sure you look at the size before ordering.

Henn&Hart 32″ Wide Square Coffee Table in Brass
The fourth coffee table I have here is by Henn&Hart. This is the most fancy and good-looking table on this list. It’s modern, elegant, minimal, and simple. No matter which room you keep this table in, this will pop out.
If you have a fancy living room, you cannot just keep a simple wooden coffee table. This table is just for you because it’s made out of metal and glass. Both the top and the bottom of this table are made out of glass.
The glass top makes it really easy to clean and keep everything in sight. Even though having a glass-top table is a bit risky around kids, this table is a must-have if you are looking to be elegant.
The table is quite big, for a coffee table. But this means the storage is big. Both the top and the bottom can hold a lot of items. Because of the simple design, the top and bottom both have equivalent space.
The table is squared, so, it’s really easy to put the table together. Even if you are new at building things on your own, this is a no-brainer with the help of the instruction file.
There are 2 things to consider if you are getting this. The first is the price. This is one of the pricy tables on the list. The price is around 170 to 180 dollars. Which is quite high in comparison to other tables I have here.
And because of the glass top, the table cannot hold a lot of stuff. Especially, never sit at the table. Sitting on the table can cause injuries. Other than that, this is a great table to have in your living space.

YITAHOME Round Coffee Table
The fifth table I have here is the Yitahome round coffee table. This table has a round top and a square bottom. This is a very basic table. But even if it is basic, this table is durable and quite handy. The table comes in 3 colors. Gray wash, gray, and rustic brown. All of these colors have a rustic look to it.
If your living room has a rustic look, this is the best table for you. But, you can also pair this table with other styles.
The best thing about this table is the big storage below. Since the bottom deck of the table is square, you can keep up with a lot of things. Starting from newspapers to paper towels, and cups. You can also have a place to keep decor items.
This table has a rustic design. The tops of the table are made out of wood. And the frame of the table is made out of metal. This makes it really easy to assemble. The wooden top has an exposed varnish finish look. Which gives the table a rustic look.
On each side of the table, you can see a “V” shape metal design. This design makes the table look good while making the table more sturdy and durable. The top and the bottom deck are also waterproof and wear resistance. So, the table is really durable.
But there are 2 drawbacks to this table. One being there are no drawers to keep things out of sight. Also, if your place has high humidity, you may see the top of the table bubbling. So, make sure to keep the table out of humid areas. Especially keep the table inside of your house.
Key Specifications
| Dimension | 31.5″D x 31.5″W x 18″H |

Furinno JAYA Simple Design Oval Coffee Table
The sixth coffee table I have here is also made by Furinno, who made the first table on this list. The best thing about this table is, it has drawers. The drawers make it easy to keep stuff hidden or out of plain sight.
Other than the drawers, there are also more storage spaces, where you can keep things hidden or out of sight. Just below the top deck, there are two storage units where you can keep small items.
You can also place baskets or bins above the drawer. These bins or baskets can slide out to get access. There are also two metal poles on each side of the coffee table. These metal poles increase the sturdiness. Also, you can keep books on each side of the coffee table.
This coffee table has an oval design. This oval shape of the coffee table makes the table wide and keeps it from falling over. This also reduces wobbling on each side. Also, like the first coffee table I talked about, this is also quite budget-friendly. This coffee table can be bought near 30 to 40 dollars.
But, the wooden boards used in this coffee table aren’t that durable. The particle boards are not capable of taking on a lot of pressure or weight. So it’s better not to keep anything heavy on this coffee table.
Key Specifications

| Material | Particle board, metal |

AWQM Coffee Table for Living Room
The last coffee table I have here is the AWQM coffee table. The best thing about this coffee table is that this one table can become two. Actually, there are two different tables in one. The smaller table goes under the bigger one to safe space. This coffee table has an industrial and minimalistic look. The top of the coffee table is made out of wood. And the frame is made out of metal.
The top of the coffee table has a white or rustic brown finish. And the frame can be either white or black.
The materials used in this coffee table are really sturdy and reinforced. The bottom of the frame has rubber feet, so it won’t leave any scratches on the floor. The feet of this table are also adjustable so, you can get the perfect height you need. The bottom deck on the smaller table is grilled. So it will shake off any dust and debris out.
This two-in-one design allows you to have more furniture in one place. You may or may not bring out the smaller table from below depending on your need. If you have a small place, this is the best table you can get to keep your place clean and simple.
When it comes to the weight-taking capacity, this table is a champ. Because this table can take up to 200 lbs. Which is on the higher end compared to the other tables I have here. The table is also waterproof and really easy to clean.
But the wood which is used on the top of the table is not really good. So it’s really easy to damage the surface. Also, it might be a bit difficult to assemble the table. But if you follow the guide properly, you won’t get a hard time.
