The designs, materials, shapes and sizes of coffee tables vary. The height is no exception, although the standard coffee table sits at around 450mm high. Coffee tables are all about convenience, so it makes sense to have all your ‘essentials’ within easy reach.
Variations on the theme include the gorgeous Nero in walnut timber which is a low rider at just 380mm. Others are taller than average, such as the Lauderdale which is 495mm high and the Eloisa which includes a 1000cm round table.
Getting the height right is important to the look and the functionality of the coffee table in relation to your sofa and the rest of the room. Measure the height of your sofa seat before you start shopping for a new coffee table, and consider the aspect of the coffee table height in relation to other furniture.
While the ideal coffee table height is similar to or a little lower than your Amart lounge suite or sofa, you may want a lower-than-average coffee table if there is potential to block the view of another piece of furniture or your Amart entertainment unit, for example.
Check out the Romulus square coffee table measuring just 400mm high - you can see how the lower height beautifully accents the matching buffet positioned nearby, whereas a taller coffee table would partially obscure that view.
When you’ve narrowed the choices down, visit your nearest Amart Furniture showroom and explore your favourite coffee tables in person. Whether you want a traditional wood coffee table or a contemporary white coffee table, Amart has exactly what you’re looking for.
