The following is a comprehensive guide about coffee tables, covering types, materials, sizes, design styles, and purchasing recommendations:
1、 Types and sizes of coffee tables
Common types
Square table: The standard size is 760 × 760mm, suitable for small and medium-sized spaces, with a minimum width of not less than 700mm and a height of usually 710mm.
Round table: The diameter increases from 150mm, commonly used in small and medium-sized residential buildings ranging from 1140-1200mm, and can accommodate 8-9 people; Coffee shops often use 550-600mm round tables.
Telescopic table: It can be expanded into a long or oval table, suitable for family gatherings or business scenarios.
Highly recommended
The height of the coffee table should be level with the sofa cushion (about 60cm) to ensure convenient use.

Mainstream materials
Solid wood: oak, walnut, beech, etc., with natural grain, pay attention to moisture resistance.
Rock slabs/marble: resistant to high temperatures and easy to clean, paired with a metal frame for a light and luxurious look.
Metal+Glass: Strong modern feel, suitable for minimalist style.
Composite materials such as fabric and rattan weave enhance the casual atmosphere.

5、 Purchasing Tips
Size adaptation
A square table needs to reserve 1.9-2 meters of space (including chairs), and the diameter of the round table should be adjusted according to the number of people (Abstract 6).
functional requirement
Priority should be given to small-sized units with expandable or storage functions (Abstract 2, 7).
Material verification
Solid wood needs to check the consistency of wood grain, while rock panels should pay attention to high temperature resistance testing (Abstract 3, 4).
Scene adaptation
For commercial use, we recommend using rock or iron materials (easy to clean), while for home use, we offer fabric or rattan materials (comfortable).
