Our range includes timber and oak coffee tables in round, square, and rectangular formats, outdoor options in aluminium suited to deck and patio settings, and side tables in a variety of sizes for beside sofas and armchairs. Pieces chosen to complement rather than compete with the seating they sit alongside.
Aim for a height that roughly matches your sofa cushions usually between 40 and 50cm. For length, two thirds the width of your sofa is a reliable guide for good visual proportion. Leave at least 45cm between the table and the sofa so the space feels easy to move around in.
For larger living rooms or L-shaped sofas, a round or square coffee table tends to anchor the arrangement better than a narrower rectangular option.
Still unsure? Bring your room dimensions or sofa measurements to our Tauranga or Auckland showrooms and we'll help you find the right fit.
A coffee or side table are often afterthoughts in a living room, chosen after the sofa and the rug and the armchair, when the budget is tired and the decisions are done. That is a shame, because it is the piece that ties the seating arrangement together. Too small and the room feels unfinished. Too large and it dominates the space. The right one makes the whole living room make sense.
A side table beside an armchair or at the end of a sofa is one of those additions that immediately improves daily life. Somewhere to put a drink, a book, a phone, a lamp.
Small enough not to impose on the room, solid enough to actually be useful. Our range includes compact timber and aluminium options for indoor living rooms, and weather-resistant outdoor side tables suited to deck settings.
An outdoor coffee table in front of a lounge setting transforms the space from somewhere you sit to somewhere you actually spend time.
Our outdoor range uses powder-coated aluminium and weather-resistant materials suited to New Zealand conditions compact enough for smaller decks, robust enough to handle whatever the weather does.
What height should a coffee table be?
A coffee table should sit at roughly the same height as the sofa cushions, typically 40 to 50cm. This keeps it within comfortable reach from the sofa without feeling like you are reaching down to a floor-level surface. Some modern designs sit lower, which suits large deep sofas. If in doubt, bring your sofa height to our team and we will help you find the right match.
How big should a coffee table be?
As a general guide, choose a coffee table that is about two thirds the length of your sofa. Leave at least 45cm of clear space between the table and the sofa edge for comfortable movement. For round coffee tables, aim for a diameter that does not extend beyond the arms of the sofa on either side. Our team can help with sizing for your specific room.
Can coffee tables be used outdoors?
Only if they are specifically designed for outdoor use. Our outdoor coffee table range uses powder-coated aluminium and other weather-resistant materials. Standard indoor timber or MDF coffee tables will deteriorate quickly in outdoor conditions. Always check the product description or ask our team before placing an indoor coffee table outside.
Do you stock round coffee tables?
Yes. Our coffee table range includes round, square, and rectangular options. Round coffee tables work well in smaller living rooms and with L-shaped sofas where a rectangular table can feel awkward. Browse online or visit our showrooms to see the current selection.
