Oval Coffee Tables

Oval coffee table sizes and room fit

An oval coffee table works best at about two-thirds the length of the sofa, and its rounded ends leave more room to walk past than a rectangle of the same length. Widths here run 23.5 to 55 inches and depths 17.5 to 31.5 inches.

Leave about 18 inches between the table and the sofa. An oval follows a long sofa or a sectional well, and it softens a room with many straight lines.

Small oval coffee table for tight spaces

A small oval coffee table suits a loveseat, an apartment or a narrow room, where rounded ends keep shins and walkways clear. The slimmest models here are 17.5 inches deep, which helps where floor space is tight.

In homes with young children or pets, the lack of sharp corners is a practical advantage over a square or rectangular table.

Oval wood coffee table construction

An oval wood coffee table here may be built from solid wood, such as solid oak under a walnut finish, or from MDF panels under a wood-tone finish, and some combine solid wood parts with panels.

Walnut, natural, oak and cherry tones, fluted sides and mid-century lines are among the wood looks. Check each listing's construction line to see which parts are solid wood.

Oval glass coffee table and stone tops

An oval glass coffee table uses a clear or tempered glass top that keeps the table visually light, and select models pair the glass with a metal frame or vegan leather accents.

Other models use a sintered stone top on a steel frame, often in gold or gray, which stands up well to heat and scratches. Some carry a marble-look top on a steel frame, so check each listing's construction line to see what the surface is made of.

Oval coffee table with storage

An oval coffee table with storage adds drawers, shelves or cabinet doors under the top to hold remotes, books and throws. Select lift-top models raise the surface for a laptop or a meal on the sofa.

Select models add a swivel design, and some come with an ottoman for extra seating.
