Coffee & Side Tables UK
Wood, Glass and Metal-Frame Tables for Reception Areas, Home Offices and Lounge Spaces
Coffee and side tables from £133, designed to complete reception layouts, home offices and lounge areas. Choose from solid wooden tables, glass-topped designs with metal frames, and the Nola lift-up work table that doubles as a standing-height work surface — all with free UK mainland delivery.
The Detail That Completes a Layout
A coffee table is rarely the first thing anyone buys for a space — but it's often what makes the difference between a seating area that feels finished and one that feels like it's still missing something. In a reception or waiting area, a coffee table sits naturally alongside reception lounge sofas and lounge chairs, giving visitors a practical surface for literature, refreshments or a laptop while they wait. In a home office or lounge, it anchors the seating and keeps everyday essentials within reach.
After 20 years in the furniture industry, the tables people regret are the ones bought purely on price without thinking about proportion — too small to be useful, or too large for the space they sit in. The range here is chosen to suit real layouts: compact side tables for tighter corners, coffee tables sized to sit comfortably in front of a sofa, and a few designs that coordinate directly with our furniture collections.
Browse the Range
The collection covers three broad styles, all sharing the same focus on practical proportions and durable finishes.
Wooden coffee and side tables
Solid, warm and the most versatile choice for both home and reception settings. The Parma and Carpi tables coordinate with their matching collections, making them a natural choice if you already have pieces from those ranges. From £133.
Glass-topped tables with metal frames
Lighter visually, these work well in smaller or brighter spaces where a solid wooden table might feel heavy. The combination of a glass top with a slim metal frame keeps the look open and contemporary.
The Nola Lift-Up Work Coffee Table
The most distinctive piece in the range. Its top lifts and extends to standing-friendly working height, turning a coffee table into an occasional work surface. Ideal for open-plan spaces, casual remote working, or anyone who works from the sofa as much as the desk. £318.
Choosing the Right Table
Three things matter most when choosing a coffee or side table: the size of the space, how the table will be used, and the finish that suits the room.
For reception and waiting areas, a coffee table positioned in front of a sofa or between a pair of chairs works best — giving visitors a shared surface without obstructing the walkway. Allow enough clearance around it so people can move past comfortably. Browse the full lounge furniture range to coordinate tables with seating.
For home offices and lounges, think about what the table needs to hold. If it's mainly for a laptop, drinks and a few books, a compact side table may be all you need. If it's the centre of a relaxed seating area, a larger coffee table earns its place. The Nola lift-up design is worth considering if you regularly work away from your home office desk.
For finish, wooden tables offer the most warmth and coordinate easily with desks and storage. Glass-topped designs suit smaller or brighter rooms where you want to keep the look light. If you're matching to an existing collection, the Parma, Carpi and Nola tables are the ones designed to coordinate directly.
If you're not sure what suits your space, get in touch and I'll advise.
Coordinate with Your Collection
Several of the tables in this range belong to our wider furniture collections — the Parma, Carpi and Nola collections all include coordinating pieces. If you're furnishing a complete space rather than buying a single table, choosing within a collection gives you matching finishes across your desk, storage and occasional tables.
Coffee & Side Table FAQs
What's the difference between a coffee table and a side table?
A coffee table is lower and larger, designed to sit centrally in front of a sofa or between seating. A side table is taller and more compact, designed to sit beside a chair or sofa for a lamp, drink or book. Many spaces use both — a coffee table as the central surface and a side table for accessible extras.
Which tables coordinate with your furniture collections?
The Parma, Carpi and Nola tables are part of their respective collections and share finishes with the desks and storage in those ranges. If you already own pieces from one of these collections, the matching table is the simplest way to keep finishes consistent.
What is the Nola Lift-Up Work Coffee Table?
It's a coffee table with a top that lifts and extends to a comfortable working height, turning it into an occasional standing work surface. It suits open-plan spaces and casual remote working where you sometimes work away from a desk.
Do the tables arrive assembled?
Most tables require minimal assembly — typically attaching legs or a frame, which takes only a few minutes. Assembly details are shown on each individual product page.
How do I clean and care for the tables?
Wooden and laminate tops can be maintained with a soft cloth and mild cleaner. Glass tops respond well to a standard glass cleaner for a streak-free finish. Care guidance is provided where relevant on the product page.
Do coffee and side tables include free UK delivery?
Yes. Free UK mainland delivery is included on every table in this range. Delivery timings are shown on each individual product page.
