Choosing a Large Coffee Table: 12 Questions to Ask Before You Buy
Before choosing a large coffee table, check four things first: that it suits the length of your sofa, that it leaves comfortable walkways on every side, that its height matches your seat cushions, and that you can get it through your front door and into the room. Once those are settled, the remaining questions are about shape, material, weight, storage and how the table will be used day to day. This guide sets out twelve questions in a clear order, so you can work through them with a tape measure in hand and rule out tables that will not suit your home.
