With so much emphasis on the couch being the star of the show in a living room, it can be easy to forget what an important supporting role your coffee table plays. More than just a stylish footrest, the best coffee tables can help unite your living room’s design scheme, providing a useful moment of form-meets-function that beautifully offsets all the soft upholstery in the space.
While there’s no shortage of coffee tables on the market, finding a style that can stand up to daily use—as a homework zone, puzzle-playing surface, storage spot, and even takeout buffet—is no easy task. That’s where West Elm comes in. Not only do their selection of coffee tables capitalize on the latest trends and silhouettes, but they’re also remarkably sturdy and made from real materials, like marble, glass, and sustainably sourced wood.
Below, we’re rounding up the best West Elm coffee tables, whether you’re looking for something in their signature mid-century modern aesthetic; on the hunt for a piece that suits your family’s needs; or both.
01
Calla Solid Wood Coffee Table
West Elm
$699.00
Sleek, minimalistic wood coffee tables are kind of West Elm’s signature style, and there’s no better example of this than the Calla coffee table. Made from solid acacia wood and sized to a generous 48 inches wide, it comes in three different finishes to help you easily coordinate with other wood surfaces already in your living room. We love this piece for its timeless aesthetic, but the storage “shelf” in the open frame is a huge bonus. Use it to house coffee table books or add rattan baskets to disguise toys or workout gear.
02
Monti Indoor/Outdoor Coffee Table
West Elm
$649.00
Typically, when something is rated for indoor and outdoor use, that speaks to its durability—and that’s certainly the case with this industrial stunner from West Elm. Hand cast in stone composite, which is lighter weight but just as durable as concrete, it brings an edgy, brutalist vibe to your living room. Bonus: The round shape and low profile (it’s just 14 inches high) make this an ideal choice for households with small children.
03
Sintra Coffee Table Set
West Elm
$848.00
Double the fun, double the functionality! This duo of nesting coffee tables is a great way to fill space in a larger living room, while granting you the flexibility to arrange them how you please. Guests coming over? Simply “break” the pair apart and sprinkle them around the room for extra spots to stash a drink. The textured metal legs lend a “forged” effect, making this pairing look far pricier than it is.
04
Mid-Century Marble Pop-Up Coffee Table
West Elm
$999.00
If there’s one West Elm coffee table that’s reached icon status, it’s this classic pick. With period-appropriate tapered legs and a boxy form made from kiln-dried, sustainably sourced wood, it looks more like a lucky vintage find than a new piece. A surprise bonus? Two panels on the top lift to reveal hidden storage, so you can stash everything from remotes to tech chargers out of sight when guests come over.
05
Palmetto Indoor/Outdoor Coffee Table
West Elm
$699.00
Somehow both modern and feminine, this concrete coffee table is an elegant addition to any living room. West Elm lists it as “contract grade,” which is industry speak for a product that is made with durability in mind (think: anything that could be put in a hotel or restaurant where it’d get a lot of use), so you know it’s a worthwhile investment. An important note: At two feet wide and 300 pounds, this piece is hefty, so be prepared to tag-team the install with a partner or pay for White Glove delivery.
06
Mid-Century Art Display Round Coffee Table
West Elm
$479.20
With an airy glass top and sleek metal legs, this coffee table is the ideal pick for a room where there’s already enough visual interest happening. It’s quiet yet classic presence will make any decor scheme sing, and the tempered glass top is much more durable than it may appear. The walnut shelf below even offers up a great place to spotlight favorite coffee table books or highlight a fun sculpture—almost like a glass case in a museum.
07
Industrial Storage Pop-Up Coffee Table
West Elm
$699.00
Available in three finishes and two different sizes (36 inches and 50 inches), this industrial-style lift-top coffee table offers custom furniture perks without the custom furniture pricing. The body is made of sustainably sourced mango wood and is crafted in a Fair Trade Certified facility, making this a purchase you can feel good about. Even better, part of the surface lifts to reveal hidden storage within; you can even use the elevated “shelf” as a spot to place your laptop for video calls (or eat your favorite sushi takeout, we won’t judge).
08
Melli Storage Coffee Table
West Elm
$799.00
Also known as a drum-shaped coffee table, this rounded design is the ideal pick for any living room that’s short on space, or a household with young children that would like to minimize sharp corners. The stunning fluted band around the belly of the coffee table slides open to reveal bonus storage, with shelves that are pretty enough to leave open if you’re looking for a unique way to display a favorite piece of pottery.
09
Profile Coffee Table
West Elm
$319.20
If minimalism is what you’re after, a sleek metal coffee table should be high on your wish list. This tiered iron design boasts enough visual interest so as not to be boring, but won’t overwhelm your space with bulky lines or chunky details. Even better, it comes in a few chic powder-coated colors, including airy white, bold teal, and energetic citron.
10
Solstice Painted Raffia Low Coffee Table
West Elm
$559.20
You probably wouldn’t typically refer to raffia as “durable,” but this design is another one of West Elm’s “contract grade” pieces, so you know it can handle whatever you throw at it. With subtle curves and a beachy appeal, it’s quiet luxury at its finest. Just be mindful of the height; at 12.5 inches high, it’s one of the lower models on our list, so this might not be the style for you if you tend to work or eat at your coffee table often.
