Frequently Asked Questions About Solid Wood Coffee Tables
What should be the dimensions of a coffee table?
As a guideline, two-thirds the length of the sofa and a height equal to or up to 5 cm below the seat: for a 210-cm three-seater sofa with a seat height of 45, a table about 120 to 140 cm long and 40 to 45 high. Leave 40 to 45 cm between the sofa and the table: just enough distance to reach it without getting up and to walk by without bumping into it. Let’s take a look at the shapes and proportions of oak coffee tables.
A single coffee table or several small ones?
The single solid-wood table makes a statement and provides a continuous surface; a set of two or three small tables—sometimes nesting—offers the flexibility to rearrange them as needed. In living rooms with children or high-traffic areas, the small tables can be moved aside to free up floor space; in serene living rooms, the single oak table anchors the space like no other. We work exclusively with FSC-certified solid oak, manufactured in Europe.
How can you protect your coffee table from everyday wear and tear?
It’s the most heavily used surface in the living room: coasters are the rule here, spills are wiped up immediately, and trivets are used under hot items. Apply natural oil once or twice a year. The advantage of solid oak is its forgiving nature: scuffs and scratches can be removed with fine-grit sandpaper and oil—something that glass and lacquered surfaces don’t offer.
Which wall unit goes well with the coffee table?
A statement storage unit on the main wall balances the centerpiece: the table ties together the sofa area, and the wall unit brings order to the background. The large living room sideboards, made of the same oak, accommodate everything the living area accumulates and give the room that dual anchor—the centerpiece and the wall—that makes it work.
How can I incorporate the coffee table into the rest of the living room?
By repeating the same material on the media wall—the coffee table and TV stand are made of the same oak—the living area and the TV area come together as a single space. The solid-wood TV stands complete this visual axis that brings order to the entire living room.
