15 Best Coffee Tables With Hidden Storage, Built-In Seating, and More

You don’t have to shell out thousands for a good coffee table. Nathan James is one of our favorite places to turn for affordable furniture, and this tiered coffee table is no exception. The legs have a slight taper welcome in any midcentury modern living room, and the lower level has a unique cane detail for a striking finish.

The Driftway coffee table is one of the most iconic pieces from Serena & Lily for a reason. It’s a tribute to the Parsons table frame, in which the top is the same width as the legs. This is a well-balanced piece you can load up with living room necessities: from board games to video games on the lower level, and decor and coasters on the top level.

Why have one coffee table when you could have two? These two tables nest within each other, so when you need more floor space, simply tuck the smaller one in place. The transitional style makes it a versatile pick for the frequent host. Set them next to each other for extra table space for guests.

If you have young children running around your home, you might want to clear of sharp corners on your coffee table. That doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style or storage. This Drew Barrymore coffee table has both. It’s wrapped in plush cream upholstery, and the recessed wooden tabletop hides a storage compartment inside.

Several of the coffee tables on our list have a storage feature, but to us, this is the coolest. You don’t have to lift a tabletop to access it. The curved fluted edges of this table are doors in disguise. They swing wide to reveal anything that needs to be easily accessible but kept out of sight most of the time: think video game controllers and overflow books.

When you’re short on seating space, a coffee table that comes with its own chairs can be a huge help. Two plush ottomans hug either end of this Castlery table. When they’re not in use, the tables have an eye-catching, color-blocked look. But when you pull them out for the kids to sit on, the table remains a stylish piece on its own, and smooth footrests make the ottomans easy to reposition.

Who says you have to stick to wood for your coffee table material? Colorful and modern interiors are a great fit for an acrylic coffee table. They catch the light for extra color diffused through your space, and it still has an extra shelf for open storage. If you have a particularly whimsical rug, we suggest using the clear version of this table to let it shine.

If your coffee table is more for show than for function, it’s hard to get more elegant than this slab of marble. This will be the showstopper in any room with its marbling patterns and carved fluted edges. Though it’s sealed for protection, you’ll want to avoid spills or wet glasses to preserve its Day One look. Make sure to keep coasters close at hand.

This sculptural coffee table may look like it weighs about a million pounds, but it's actually quite lightweight. Well, it's 60 pounds, which is hardly a lot considering it's handmade of volcanic stone. It's finished in fiberglass and sand resin, both of which make it a lot more durable, so there's no need to be too precious with it. In fact, it's so durable that you can even use it outside. We, however, think it shines brightest indoors with only a few things on it, including a coffee table book and a flower vase.

When we think of Maiden Home, which we admittedly do often, we think of plush sofas and bouclé chairs, but the brand actually has a sizable collection of furniture that extends beyond just seating. Case in point: The Morro table, which comes in three sizes. Because it's in stock, it ships within five business days, which is rare when it comes to luxury pieces. Plus, as is the case with all Maiden Home furniture, it's handmade in the U.S.

Without context, this coffee table, which arrives fully assembled, looks enormous, but it's only 31 inches wide. The surface boasts a slight lip, so if you're prone to dropping things, rest assured they won't roll off, never to be found again. There's also a slightly smaller shelf underneath the tabletop for anything you don't necessarily want out and on hand all the time. We are also obsessed with the caned siding, which gives it a vintage feel.

Whether your style is coastal or modern boho, this handwoven rattan table has an approachable style that will suit your space. The wide horseshoe-shaped frame adds an organic and refined touch we can't resist. Plus, there's something a little cottage-y about it that we love.

Like the previous coffee table, this one also comes in two sizes, though not as a pair. Luckily, both options are plenty big, so you won't need more than one. At first glance, this find may look like your typical waterfall edge table, but upon closer inspection, you'll notice that it's covered in a highly textured raffia, which makes it instantly interesting, if you ask us. The whole thing, from the frame to the upholstery, is sustainably sourced and fair trade certified, so it's guilt-free.
