Which coffee table suits you?

Choose the material first, then the shape and size. The material decides how much you can put on the table without thinking twice.

Quick guide

Children, hot mugs, little maintenance: ceramic. Warm wood with a wooden floor or dining table: oak. Small room or corner sofa: round or square. Flexible layout: a set of two round tables.

Ceramic coffee table

Ceramic is sintered at extremely high temperature: hard, non-porous and resistant to heat, scratches and stains. A hot teapot or a wet mug leaves no ring. The top is UV-stable, so it does not fade by the window.

  • Cube: square, 700 × 700 mm and 450 mm high, with an 8 mm top.
  • Round: ø 600 mm, 450 mm high.
  • Side table: ø 400 mm, 460 mm high, with a 20 mm top. Fits beside an armchair or at the end of the sofa.

The downside: ceramic is heavy and the edge is sensitive to a hard knock, such as a dropped glass or a kick with a heel.

Oak coffee table

The oak coffee table is rectangular, 1200 × 800 mm and 450 mm high. European oak has honey to golden brown tones and a distinctive open grain, and grows warmer in colour over the years. Wood is more sensitive to heat and moisture than ceramic; use a coaster. With an oak dining table in the same room, the two work well together.

Venezia coffee table set

The Venezia sets consist of two round tables of ø 900 and ø 550 mm. Place them together in front of the sofa or use the small one on its own as a side table. There are two tones: Calacatta (light with veining) and Marquina (dark with veining).

What size coffee table?

  • Height: the coffee tables here are 380 to 470 mm high.
  • Length: a rule of thumb is no more than two thirds of your sofa's length.
  • Distance: keep 350 to 400 mm between sofa and table, so you can stand up and walk past easily.
  • Corner sofa: a round or square table can be reached from both sides.

Care

Clean ceramic with a damp cloth; oiling or sealing is not needed. Wipe oak with a slightly damp cloth and dry it afterwards. More tips on the care page.

Frequently asked questions

How high is a coffee table?
The coffee tables in this category are 380 to 470 mm high. That is roughly level with the seat of most sofas, so you can easily reach them from where you sit.
Which coffee table size suits my sofa?
Choose a table no longer than two thirds of the sofa and keep 350 to 400 mm between sofa and table. With a corner sofa, a round or square table usually works better.
Can a hot teapot go on a ceramic coffee table?
Yes. Ceramic is heat-resistant, and scratch- and stain-resistant as well. Mind the edge, though: it is sensitive to a hard knock.
Which material is easiest with children?
Ceramic. Stains do not soak in, toys do not scratch it and a damp cloth is enough to clean it.
