Coffee Tables with Storage

Types of coffee table with storage

A coffee table with storage holds things in one of a few ways: a lift-top with a compartment below, drawers, open shelves or cabinet doors. Drawers suit small items like remotes and chargers, and open shelves keep books and baskets within reach.

Cabinet doors hide clutter, and select models use glass doors to display what is inside. Some add LED lights, swivel tops, nesting pieces or ottomans that come with the table. For drawer designs, browse Coffee Tables with Drawers.

Lift top coffee table with storage

A lift top coffee table with storage raises its top on hinged hardware to create a higher surface for a laptop or a meal, and the space underneath holds blankets, games and cables. Some models use hydraulic hardware that lowers the top gently.

Check the raised height and weight rating on each listing before using the top as a desk, and keep fingers clear of the hinges when closing it.

Round coffee table with storage and other shapes

A round coffee table with storage suits small rooms and sectionals, sometimes as a drum or fluted base with a compartment or drawers inside. Rectangular tables line up with a long sofa and tend to hold the most, square tables fit large sectionals, and oval tables give a long surface with softened ends.

Leave about 18 inches between the sofa and the table so drawers and lift-tops can open without hitting knees.

Wood coffee table with storage and construction

A wood coffee table with storage here is most often made of MDF panels in a walnut, black or natural finish, and some models are built with solid wood, on its own or with MDF panels.

Other tops include tempered glass, sintered stone and marble-look surfaces, and select bases use rattan, vegan leather or a metal frame. Dust with a soft dry cloth, use coasters on wood finishes, and wipe glass with a cloth sprayed with cleaner rather than spraying the table.
