Material

 

 

Coffee tables are made of various materials such as tempered and annealed glass, metal, MDF, and mango wood. If you have a small space, pick an acrylic or glass coffee table to visually enlarge the space. Glass, acrylic, metal, and stone coffee tables are a good option for modern interior designs. As for traditional home décor, coffee tables decorated with marble, walnut wood, and metal accessories will be the right choice.
