A coffee table is a low table typically placed in front of a sofa or seating area in a living room. It serves as a convenient surface for placing drinks, books, or decorative items. Coffee tables come in various shapes, sizes, and materials, including wood, glass, and metal, allowing them to fit different interior design styles. In addition to their practical use, coffee tables can also enhance the aesthetic appeal of a room. Some designs feature storage options, such as drawers or shelves, making them functional as well as stylish. They are often accompanied by coasters to protect the surface from moisture and heat.
