Coffee Tables Online for Practical Living Spaces

Explore coffee tables online at Vartiss Store in a variety of shapes, sizes, finishes and storage configurations. The current range includes round, square and rectangular coffee tables, lift-top designs, nesting table sets, tables with drawers or shelves, faux-marble finishes, timber and timber-look styles, high-gloss designs and selected multi-purpose tables.

A coffee table can provide everyday surface space for drinks, books, remotes and decorative items while helping define the layout of a lounge or living area. The right choice depends on the dimensions of your room, the surrounding seating, the amount of storage you need and how you intend to use the table.

Coffee Tables form part of our broader Living Room Furniture collection. If you need additional occasional seating or compact storage, you can also browse Ottomans & Footstools.


Choosing the Right Coffee Table

Start with the available floor space and the furniture already in your room. A coffee table should provide useful surface area without making it difficult to move between the sofa, chairs and other furniture.

Before ordering, compare:

  • Overall dimensions: Check the complete width, depth and height.
  • Tabletop size: Consider how much usable surface area you actually need.
  • Height: Compare the table height with your sofa or armchair seat height.
  • Shape: Round, rectangular, square and geometric tables use floor space differently.
  • Storage: Selected models include drawers, cupboards, open shelves or lift-top compartments.
  • Weight capacity: Tabletop, shelf and drawer capacities can differ between products.
  • Materials: Current products use combinations of particle board, MDF, metal, timber components, veneers and other finishes.
  • Assembly: Requirements vary between products.
  • Moving parts: Lift-top, nesting and sliding components may need extra clearance.
  • Powered features: Selected tables include power outlets or USB connections and require additional electrical considerations.

Always use the specifications shown on the individual product page when making your final decision.


Types of Coffee Tables Available

Rectangular Coffee Tables

Rectangular coffee tables are well suited to many conventional sofa layouts because they provide a broad surface while following the length of the seating area.

Current designs include simple open tables as well as models with drawers, cabinets, shelving and other built-in storage.

Measure both the table length and depth carefully. A long table may suit the width of your sofa but still project too far into the walking area if the room is narrow.

Round Coffee Tables

Round coffee tables can create a softer visual shape in a room and remove projecting corners. They are available in several sizes and may include lower shelves or other storage features.

For a round table, the listed diameter determines its complete footprint. Check that there is enough clearance around the full circumference.

Square & Geometric Coffee Tables

Square, hexagonal and other geometric designs can work well where the seating layout allows a more central table shape.

Some geometric tables are designed for more than one orientation or function. Where this applies, follow the individual product instructions and capacity information for the way you intend to position the table.


Lift-Top Coffee Tables

Lift-top coffee tables include a tabletop section that raises to create a higher surface while revealing storage underneath on selected designs.

They can provide additional flexibility where the table is used for activities such as reading, working on a laptop or accessing stored items. Mechanisms, lift heights, capacities and storage layouts differ between models.

Before choosing a lift-top design:

  • Allow enough room for the tabletop to move forward or upward.
  • Keep fingers clear of hinges and moving mechanisms.
  • Check the stated tabletop and mechanism weight limits.
  • Do not sit or stand on a raised tabletop.
  • Make sure nearby furniture does not block the opening movement.

Coffee Tables with Storage

Storage coffee tables can help keep frequently used living-room items organised without requiring a separate storage unit.

Current designs may include:

  • Open lower shelves
  • Central storage compartments
  • Drawers
  • Side cabinets
  • Lift-top storage
  • Multiple shelves

Before ordering, check whether drawers, doors and lifting sections will have enough clearance to open fully in your intended position.

Also check separate shelf, drawer and tabletop capacities where they are provided. The total capacity of the table should not automatically be applied to every individual storage section.


Nesting Coffee Tables

Nesting coffee table sets contain two or more tables designed to fit partly or completely beneath one another when not all surfaces are required.

They can provide flexible surface space because the tables may be grouped together or separated around the room, depending on the individual design.

When comparing nesting tables, check the dimensions of every table in the set rather than only the largest piece. Also confirm the stated capacity of each individual table.


Side Tables & Multi-Purpose Designs

The current Coffee Tables collection also contains several smaller side-table and C-shaped designs. These can provide a compact surface beside a sofa, armchair or other suitable seating area.

C-shaped tables are generally designed to position part of the base beneath compatible furniture so the tabletop can sit closer to the user. Before purchasing, compare the base dimensions and clearance with your sofa or chair.

Some smaller tables in this category may function better as side or occasional tables than as a central coffee table, so use the dimensions and intended function shown on the individual listing to decide whether they suit your needs.


Faux-Marble & Stone-Look Coffee Tables

Faux-marble and stone-look finishes appear across a number of current designs. These tables provide the visual effect of marble without necessarily being made from natural stone.

Always check the material specification carefully. A product described as marble-look, marble-effect or faux marble should not be assumed to have a natural marble tabletop.

Current products may use materials such as MDF or particle board with melamine, veneer or other decorative surface finishes combined with metal or timber components.


Timber & Timber-Look Coffee Tables

The collection includes natural-looking oak, pine, walnut and other timber-style finishes. Construction varies by product and can include genuine timber components, engineered wood products, decorative veneers or timber-look surfaces.

Do not assume a wood-grain appearance means the complete table is solid timber. Check the listed materials on the individual product page.

Where solid timber components such as legs are specified, those components may be combined with MDF, particle board or other materials elsewhere in the table.


High-Gloss & Contemporary Coffee Tables

Selected coffee tables use high-gloss surfaces for a smooth contemporary appearance. Some designs combine high-gloss panels with drawers, open shelving, LED lighting or contrasting finishes.

High-gloss surfaces can show fingerprints, dust and fine marks differently from textured finishes, so follow the product-specific cleaning recommendations and avoid abrasive cleaning products unless they are expressly permitted.


Coffee Tables with Power & USB Connections

Selected tables in the current range incorporate electrical features such as power outlets or USB charging connections.

If you choose a powered table:

  • Check the stated voltage and electrical specifications.
  • Position the power lead where it will not create a trip hazard.
  • Keep electrical components away from liquids.
  • Do not use damaged plugs, leads or outlets.
  • Follow all supplied electrical instructions.
  • Do not exceed any stated electrical load limits.

Electrical features are not standard across the category and should only be assumed where they are specifically listed for the individual table.


How to Measure for a Coffee Table

Measure the Available Floor Area

Measure the space between your sofa, armchairs, TV cabinet and other surrounding furniture. Leave enough room to move through the living area without repeatedly contacting the table.

Compare the Height with Your Seating

Coffee tables vary in height. Compare the table height with the seat height of your sofa or chairs and choose the arrangement that suits the way you intend to use the surface.

Allow for Drawers, Doors & Lift Tops

Storage furniture needs operational clearance. Measure where drawers and cabinet doors will open and allow room for lift-top mechanisms to move.

Consider the Complete Shape

For round tables, use the diameter. For rectangular tables, consider both length and depth. Nesting sets should be measured in both their stored and separated configurations.


Coffee Tables for Smaller Living Rooms

For a smaller room, prioritise actual dimensions rather than marketing descriptions such as compact or space-saving.

Options worth considering may include:

  • Nesting tables that can be separated when required
  • Coffee tables with built-in storage
  • Smaller round tables
  • C-shaped occasional tables
  • Tables with open bases that reduce visual bulk

A table marketed for apartments is not automatically suitable for your room. Measure the intended position and surrounding walking space before ordering.


Weight Capacity & Safe Use

Coffee-table capacities vary substantially between products. Check the stated maximum load for the tabletop and for individual shelves, drawers or other components where separate limits are provided.

For safer everyday use:

  • Do not sit or stand on a coffee table unless the product is specifically designed and rated for that purpose.
  • Do not exceed the stated weight capacity.
  • Distribute heavier items appropriately across the supported surface.
  • Keep children from climbing on tables, shelves or drawers.
  • Use lift-top and sliding mechanisms carefully.
  • Make sure the table is stable and level after assembly.
  • Check and tighten assembly fasteners periodically where recommended.
  • Use floor protectors where supplied and suitable for your flooring.

Assembly

Assembly requirements vary throughout the range. Many coffee tables require assembly, while the amount of work involved depends on the construction and features of the individual model.

Before assembly:

  • Check that all components and hardware are present.
  • Follow the supplied sequence rather than tightening components in a different order.
  • Assemble the table on a clean surface to help protect the finish.
  • Use the specified hardware and tools.
  • Do not modify structural components.
  • Check that drawers, lift mechanisms and shelves operate correctly before loading the table.

Care & Maintenance

Cleaning requirements depend on the tabletop, frame and finish of the individual coffee table.

  • Wipe spills promptly using a suitable method for the material.
  • Avoid allowing moisture to remain on MDF, particle board or timber-look surfaces.
  • Use coasters, placemats or other suitable protection beneath hot, wet or abrasive objects.
  • Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners unless specifically approved.
  • Use a soft cloth where appropriate for high-gloss surfaces.
  • Keep powered table components dry.
  • Check hardware and moving mechanisms periodically.
  • Follow the individual care instructions supplied with the product.

Do not assume that every marble-look, timber-look or high-gloss surface requires the same cleaning method.

Frequently Asked Questions About Coffee Tables

What types of coffee tables are available?

The current range includes round, square and rectangular tables, lift-top coffee tables, nesting sets, storage tables, faux-marble designs, timber-look tables, high-gloss models and selected smaller side-table designs.

How do I choose the right coffee table size?

Measure the available area between your seating and surrounding furniture. Compare the complete width, depth and height of the table and allow sufficient walking clearance around it.

Do coffee tables include storage?

Selected models include drawers, cabinets, open shelves or lift-top storage. Storage configuration and capacity vary between products.

Are marble-look coffee tables made from real marble?

Not necessarily. Products described as marble-look, marble-effect or faux marble may use MDF, particle board, melamine, veneer or another material with a decorative marble-style finish. Check the individual material specification before ordering.

Do coffee tables require assembly?

Many current tables require assembly, but requirements vary by product. Check the individual listing and follow the supplied assembly instructions.

Are nesting tables suitable for smaller spaces?

Nesting tables can provide flexible surface space because the smaller table can be positioned beneath the larger one on compatible designs. Whether a particular set suits your room still depends on its actual dimensions.

Can I use a side table as a coffee table?

Some smaller tables can serve several purposes, but consider their height, surface area, stability and stated intended use before positioning them as a central coffee table.

Do you deliver coffee tables across Australia?

Yes. Vartiss Store delivers across Australia. Delivery pricing and estimated timeframes depend on your destination. See our Shipping & Delivery page for current information.

Can I ask about dimensions or materials before ordering?
