A year ago I bought a really nice glass top coffee table, But it’s getting small hair thin scratches. I try to use coasters and everything, but sometimes things just get placed there from guests or my boyfriend and scratches are left behind.

Coffee tables have the ability to make or break a room. It’s true. For one thing, when people walk into your living room, chances are the first place they look is the coffee table. If you care at all about the aesthetic value of your living room, you can’t underestimate the importance of the coffee table. Secondly, coffee tables offer incredible functionality that goes beyond just surface style.
Whatever type of decorative look you have in your living room, there are coffee tables that will match that look and add to it. When buying your coffee table you want to make sure that you understand it serves both form and function equally. It should look good, and it should serve your living room needs.
Coffee tables are truly multifunctional. Go into five different households and this becomes obvious. The primary use of a coffee table from one house to another changes simply because coffee tables are versatile pieces of furniture. In one house, for example, the primary function is to display books or magazines for visitors who want to kick back their feet and read on the sofa. For others, especially those who live alone or families who dine while watching television, the coffee table doubles as an informal dining table. And yet there are some who use theirs as the informal (and often incidental) home for anything in the room that doesn’t have a place to go. Coffee tables serve multiple purposes.
Stylistically, there is an array of designs to choose from. Wooden, glass, metal, round, and square coffee tables all serve a particular décor depending on what other furniture adorn the rest of your living room. Coffee tables with glass tops present an elegant and sophisticated look to your décor, while those that feature various wood finishes in a simple and traditional design give off an heir of antiquity and exude a sense of customary beauty. The fashionably sleeker and more modern looks of coffee tables are the ones made of metal with glass tops.
Before you rush out and buy a coffee table, think about how you’ll be using yours. It is also very important that you consider other members of the household. While you may view coffee tables as decorative pieces for displaying magazines, your teenagers might see them as dining tables when you’re not home. If you have young children, you want to make sure that you have durable pieces. While glass-topped coffee tables make for lovely decorative pieces, they smudge easily, especially where little hands and fingers are concerned. Glass tops are, of course, prone to shattering as well if an accident were to occur where the pieces could pose a danger as well. Think about the people in your household before you make furniture purchases.
Coffee tables are very cool, dynamic pieces of living room furniture. If you’re in the market for a new one, you’ll be able to find the one you want that goes perfectly with your of living room décor. Just be sure to consider the needs and many uses of your coffee table before you head into the store.

I have a 7 month old shitzu, and he’s been jumping on the coffee table and destroying napkins, rolls of paper towels, and whatever else that’s left on it. Been trying to just bring him over to it and say no, and saying no whenever he destroys something, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Just looking for a few ideas to train him.

Julien Raynal asked:
For a long time, the coffee table was viewed as an also-ran in the glittering world of living space furniture. In the shadow of furniture pieces such as sofas, love seats, and chairs, the utilitarian coffee tables character was barely ever acknowledged.
Since then, homeowners have changed their position. Most of us now recognize the real aptitude of the coffee table. An important part of the living space in its own right, this piece of furniture is now accepted as a critical piece of furniture that sets the atmosphere of living area decor.
What to Remember
The style, shape, and size of your coffee table should be based on two critical criteria: the current style of your interior decor and what usage the table is going to have within the space. If young children are at home, the table should be robust and functional, whereas if you entertain often, you should keep functionality as well as appearance in mind.
What Style to Choose
The ideal table should not only become part of your living area setting, it should also be functional and sturdy. While choosing a coffee table, you must take into account its usability and convenience as well as the style of your living space.
Traditional Coffee Tables
Traditional coffee tables can either be elaborately carved or have a plain, understated appearance. These coffee tables are usually crafted from wood, hardwood solids, veneers, or a combination of wood components. They typically have sumptuous details, vertical lines, rigorous symmetry, and high-gloss finishes that accent formal home interior decors.
Some traditional coffee tables include a decorative metal or wrought iron base with a glass top. Striking a balance between classic styling and trendy look, these tables are consistently gaining in popularity.
Contemporary Coffee Tables
Contemporary coffee tables typically present clean lines, bold colors, and a spare, minimalist design. Modern coffee tables are regularly made from metal, glass, leather, or stone and may sport geometric or other artistic shapes. Contemporary designs in wood are in addition really prevalent.
The right-sized coffee table
A standard coffee table height is typically between 16 to 18 inches. If you entertain frequently, you may like your coffee table to be higher so your guests won’t be inconvenienced while setting down their drinks.
One prevalent guideline is that your coffee table should be about the same height, or about 1 to 2 inches lower than the seat height of your sofa. The perfect length of the coffee table should be about two-thirds the length of the sofa.
However, the right size and height of a coffee table should be determined by the dimensions of your other living space furniture in conjunction with your comfort level and convenience.

Chasing.Comets asked:
My coffee table is constantly wobbly no matter how often I tighten the nuts underneath. The legs have the bolt built in and then it is fed through a hole in the table top where a nut and washer are tightened to hold the leg in place. I like to put my feet up on the table and even if I tighten the nuts as tight as I can get them, they seem to get loose within a few days. Is there any other hardware that I can use to keep the legs on my table secure?

Jesse Akre asked:
Have you ever been in a home where the coffee table absolutely dwarfed the rest of the room? It can be hard to have a conversation when the sofa and recliners are separated by a table that seems more suited to having a picnic than to hosting guests and serving coffee. Then there are those perfect coffee tables that happen to be too high or low so that you either need to stand up or kneel down to retrieve a drink. Let’s face it: the coffee table is one difficult piece of furniture to get right and when we get it wrong—we get it REALLY wrong!
The perfect coffee table for your home décor will be unique for all of us. However, there are some things to avoid when buying a coffee table to make sure that you don’t get the WRONG coffee table for your furniture and design scheme. One of those mistakes is buy premium coffee tables that are not to scale with the room dimensions.
Depending on your furniture arrangement, it is a good idea for the coffee table to be within 16 inches of the sofa, love seat, and any chairs that are central to the main seating area. The larger the seating area, the larger the coffee table needs to be. The idea is for guests to have access to the coffee table without feeling cramped when getting in and out of their seats. It is also a good idea to measure not only the dimensions of the room, but also of any doorways leading into the room as well. If the delivery people can’t get the table through the door then it doesn’t matter how great it would look in your living room.
Another common mistake people tend to make with coffee tables is to use them as storage spaces. One of the secrets to home décor is to always have a focal point to the room. The coffee table is a natural focal point of the room because it is generally found near the center of the room and featured in front of the seating area. However, when homeowners use their gorgeous coffee tables as storage areas for bills, newspapers, and anything else convenient, then it is easy to see how the entire area becomes unattractive. Prominently displaying candles, centerpieces, accent lamps, and other artistic décor will help the coffee table become the focal point of the room and bring an entirely different feel to the entire seating area.

Masni Rizal Mansor asked:
I read somewhere a very beautiful description of the coffee table set - it was called, a “conversation centre piece”. Truly, there is no other place where people are not more relaxed and happy to exchange some or other pleasantries than across the coffee table set. Small girls, start early with their coffee table set and the doll cups of coffee/ tea while parents (women) look on.
Many people ask, should the coffee table set look in a certain way, have a certain platform, be of a certain size or shape? Should it conform to rules? It’s not necessary for you to conform to any rules, unless it is for official and formal parties. However, people in general feel that having a cup of coffee is actually a more serious thing than having a cup of tea.
It looks like tea time is fun time, while the coffee time is business time. Though some think coffee tastes better and keeps you active for a longer time, people prefer tea for picnic and fun times. The trend and outlook towards coffee influence to a great extent the way the coffee table set looks too. The most popular ones are a little austere, nonetheless exceptionally beautiful.
The Most Popular Models
There are many styles of coffee table sets in the world. The best looking are without any doubt the French ones. Just as the British established tea and tea time all over their kingdom, so did the French promote the coffee and coffee furniture. This is what made coffee so popular all over the world. As a matter of fact the French cane sets, glass-topped tables and tiny Indian-style tables are the only ones measuring up to the international quality and standards.
The coffee table can be used for playing cards, gossiping and of course, drinking coffee and having pastries. Little girls the world over imitate this aspect while playing with their dolls. The best coffee table sets are those which are a bit taller than tea tables where you can sit comfortably on a bean-bag chair and play some game or discuss light gossip with close friends.
Of course, cane sets are the best and also the most costly. However, in many places now designer furniture is available in installments, so you should be able to buy whatever you like from wherever you like and enjoy a cozy coffee party at your home.
