A coffee table is a piece of furniture typically used in a living room or sitting area. It is a low table designed to be placed in front of a couch or seating area, and is often used as a surface for holding drinks, books, or other items. Coffee tables can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, glass, metal, and plastic, and can come in a range of styles, from traditional to modern. Some coffee tables also feature additional storage, such as drawers or shelves, for added convenience.
