Show us your coffee table……..the cushions gave us a bit of fun!

Chicklette... your rug is fabulous.

Dollshouse please tell MrDollshouse that his tanle is beautiful!

Mine is an oval G-Plan coffee table, glass top with teak surround circa 1968. The teak wood is desperately in need of a makeover, sanding then oiling or staining, and although on My To Do List, I'm still bracing myself to begin. Perhaps I need to watch the You Tube videos again but they always seem to over complicate the issue. DH is silent on the matter.

Have'nt got a photo, but mine is an old pine chest.

We bought ours to go in the middle of the room but then decided that we actually preferred ‘space’ rather than furniture there. We do pull it into place when we have visitors so they can put their cups of tea or glasses of wine on it though.

I have one similar to NotSpagetti but square that the telly is on and a brass one from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) via DH’s Grandad.

I haven't got a coffee table either. I've obviously missed out somehow. This probably explains why my dear son-in-law balances coffee mugs on the sofa arms......

Not even close but nice try!

I will post a picture of the contents tomorrow.

Oh dear, I didn’t know I was meant to have a coffee table!
I do have a footstool which has my book, glasses and radio controller, also a very large fluffy cat. No room for my feet.

Show us your cat then😁

Love a coffee table but have accessibility issues and a puppy so big empty space that had a rug before puppy but moved it thankfuly

Bought in early 2000s. I admit I'm not the tidiest person. And I have too many books. And a cat who has nibbled the end off every single leaf of my palm.

Another light hearted thread to follow on from cushions.

Our coffee table is a huge old thing with two massive drawers, one is full of board games and photo albums the other is……..take a guess!

No prizes for the winner but a big shout out!

I would love to see or hear about your coffee tables.

A dead body?!

You are lucky to find room for a cup on mine ... top covered in poetry books, shelf with games.

One my husband made!
After we retired my husband started to make items and as a secondary school English teacher it was a real challenge for him. Some items on the lathe (so many turned items in my house now) and a few pieces of furniture out of second hand wood. This coffee table was a real success and is great as it is super narrow. He used part of a table he got from the tip and pieces left over from an oak staircase we had put in. I do love the G Plan ones but all our furniture is now light oak so the teak doesn't match. Thanks for this thread - great fun.

Apart from one message, none of you seem to have four legged friends which either have WMD tails or who find books, glasses, remotes and anything else, totally and deliciously edible. I occasionally look at mine as a polished but empty thing of beauty!

Thank you @Nannan, I really like it. I like that it doesn’t look too new.

Haven't got one. Never had one.

Mine is actually a footstool but has a tray on it. Somewhere to keep the fruit bowl and home of the 'zappers' that control tv etc.

Hurrah.😆

Oh i love your chest one too Chicklette.(for some reason my photo hasnt uploaded yet)😆

My one has tv on it since moving to a tiny house- it is one long drawer in it(though it looks as if its 2!) But it slides all the way through, so when it was just a coffee table (not used as tv stand) it was very useful to access from both sides.Lately its got cards,batteries,etc inside and underneath it houses all other junk weve nowehere for🙄 I too love your coloured one flippinheck!😃

This is ours. A chest I bought from Argos about 13 years ago. It has children’s art supplies in as well as a few bits that don’t have another home!

Not had one in about 20 years...lol
