The coffee table is the perfect example of how furniture can shape the way we use space. By shortening the legs, the coffee table becomes a surface that encourages friendlier, more informal interaction, helping you pay more attention to your peers rather than the things on the table. Coffee tables are perfect for stylistically anchoring a living space, acting as the centre piece, setting the tone for the rest of the room, too. We could carry on or we could just point you in the direction of 5 of the best coffee tables around right now. We've gone for the latter. Enjoy it below.

The rounded edges of this table are accompanied by a worktop in marble, glass, or ash veneer, a steel frame and floating under-table magazine shelf made of high-quality leather. All angles are covered with this social, and beautifully crafted, multi-functional coffee table.
