Nesting Coffee Tables

2 in 1 nesting coffee table sets

A 2 in 1 nesting coffee table pairs a taller table with a lower one that tucks partly or fully beneath it, so one piece works as a single table day to day and as two surfaces for guests.

Pull the lower table out beside the sofa, set it at an angle for a layered look, or move it next to a chair as a side table.

Nesting coffee table set sizes

A nesting coffee table set should cover about two-thirds of the sofa's length when the tables are pushed together, and still leave about 18 inches to the seat when pulled apart. Widths here run 26 to 43.9 inches, depths 18.9 to 31.5 inches and heights 13.8 to 16.9 inches.

Measure the extended layout as well as the closed one, so the lower table has a clear place to go.

Round nesting coffee table shapes

A round nesting coffee table layers circular tops of different sizes, which suits a small room and leaves no corners in the walkway. Select sets here are round with fluted sides.

Wood nesting coffee table construction

A wood nesting coffee table here is built with MDF panels under a walnut, natural, black or beige finish.

Some models add solid wood parts, a marble-look top or rattan details, and select models include drawers or other storage space.

Nesting coffee tables styling and care

Nesting coffee tables look best styled lightly, since the lower table slides beneath the upper one. Keep tall decor on the top table only, and use a tray so items move with the table when you pull the pieces apart.

Lift rather than drag the tables to protect floors and finishes, dust with a soft dry cloth, and wipe spills right away with a damp, well-wrung cloth. Coasters help protect every top, including a marble-look one.
