1. A rectangular coffee table with cutout shelves to finally fill that empty space in front of your couch you've left until now due to sheer laziness...trust me, this slight effort is worth your while.
Promising review: "I purchased this table in the natural wood color and it's stunning. Assembly is very quick, it took me 10–15 minutes. It's attractive, sturdy, and affordable. I highly recommend!" —Michael Bucio

2. A rustic coffee table with storage in the form of some big bozanga hidden drawers in which you'll be able to stuff blankets, pillows, shoes, snacks, TV remotes, games... and still have room to spare.
Promising review: "I get so many compliments on this coffee table! It’s a great quality, very solid, heavy and the size is perfect for our space — substantial but not overwhelming. The hidden storage drawers are perfect for blankets, our kids' knickknacks, or board games, and the mango wood finish is absolutely stunning!" —Lindsay

3. A lift-top coffee table that's a centerpiece when you need it, a desk when you want it, and your favorite piece of multifunctional living room furniture, all the time.
Promising review: "A fantastic table with a reliable mechanism. We’ve been using it for weeks with many compliments. Relatively easy to assemble, and lovely felt bare legs, so it moves smoothly when there’s an occasion that demands it. Looks great and works great would definitely buy again, but I’m pretty sure I won’t have to!" —Kaitlin
Get it from Wayfair for $229.99+ (originally $269.99; available in two colors).
4. A storage coffee table ideal for a small space (or are just super lazy), and want to combine your coffee table, ottoman, and bookshelf into one piece of furniture.
Promising review: "This mid-century style coffee table is so cute! It’s the perfect size for my mid-sized couch and wasn’t too difficult to assemble. It took me about an hour to put together but I’m a total idiot when it comes to assembling furniture. It’s a handsome addition to my little living room. If you’re intimidated by building anything this is a great beginner item and looks exactly like its picture. Great value for the price! Plus it arrived three days early! I’m very happy with my purchase." —Caitlin Boho
Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in three finishes).
5. A rustic wood wheel coffee table with storage people will think you scored at a vintage store. Plus, it has a near-perfect rating on Wayfair, likely because it's so well-constructed and easy to assemble.
Promising review: "Bought this based off the unique shape and five star reviews. I will say of all the many furnishings I have purchased from Wayfair which has been the best as for quality, packaging, and overall fit and finish. The size is large enough to hold the essentials plus decorating accessories. The large center drawer is awesome, large enough to hide work papers and magazines when we have company. The wood stain and pattern on the top and overall distressing is better in person. Very pleased with this purchase!" —Ann
Get it from Wayfair for $580 (originally $724).

Promising review: "Absolutely gorgeous! We got two side tables and a coffee table and they are stunning, pictures don’t do them justice. The mechanism on the table is very strong and sturdy and the details of on barrel and red wine staining on the inside is great. Mike's communication was great and the shipping company was helpful and professional. Highly recommend." —Lucy Plant
Get it from Barrel Art LLC on Etsy for $995+.
7. A large wood storage coffee table that's a minimalist's dream while still giving enough space for every knickknack in your living room (and even more, due to the spacious hidden drawers).
Promising review: "I bought this coffee table the moment I saw it in the store. It is perfect for our living space. I got a lot of compliments from my friends for its minimalistic yet elegant style. It goes really well with our Pacific Grande sofa. The best part is the storage that comes with it!" —customerB
Get it from Crate & Barrel for $849 (available in two colors).
8. A three-tier rotatable coffee table so you'll have a fun party trick in your living room for anytime you have guests over — that, and added surfaces for when you bust out the wine and cheese.
9. A trestle storage coffee table featuring four teeny cubby shelves under a glass top that looks like something out of an Architectural Digest tour of a celebrity's living room (but it's not! It's cheap!).
Promising review: "I love, love, love this table! We ordered it in espresso. Beautiful! I get many compliments on the design. I was able to put together 70% of it with no special tools and no experience. My husband helped me with the rest. The drawers provide much-needed storage. And you can really have fun with decorating the compartments under the glass. Very happy with my purchase!" —Mariana
Get it from Wayfair for $339.99+ (available in two colors).
10. A farmhouse-style, lift-top storage coffee table that looks like it would have no problem fitting several barnyard animals inside, let alone your throw blankets and Nintendo Switch.
Promising review: "I rarely write reviews, and when I say rarely, I mean this is my first review. Why? Well, COVID-19 and quarantine life, am I right friends? Let me just say that putting this coffee table together was the highlight of my boyfriend’s and my day. It was simple and quick (and fueled by a large amount of Colorado beer woo!) and looks divine in our living space. I fit 35 winter jackets in there, along with a 25-lb bag of cat food, a comforter, and my great aunt Winifred (jk). If you’re looking for style and storage — look no further and order this exceptional piece." —kkravitsky
Get it from Amazon for $335.89+ (available in three colors).
11. A low-profile rotating round storage coffee table complete with one large push-to-open drawer and 360-degree swivel capability, destined to become the bougiest possible storage receptacle for your Dungeons and Dragons equipment.
Promising review: "Love this table. We ordered online having never seen it (during lockdown) and I was a bit worried it might be glossy and the 'squares' would be distracting. Neither is true. The finish is really lovely (and more matte than anything). The 'squares' are really subtle and if anything they add to the look as a positive. Drawer is nice and deep and fits two large fluffy blankets easily. Thrilled with this purchase." —Rivercork11
Get it from CB2 for $899.
12. An extendable lift-top storage coffee table that not only extends up to several heights, completely revolutionizing movie night snacking, but it also has extendable side drawers for the TV remote when you're done. Impeccable.
Promising review: "This coffee table is exactly what we were looking for. I wanted something cute and stylish with storage to hide all my fiance's clutter, and he wanted something he could use as a desk for his late night gaming. This table is a win-win. It's the perfect height for his keyboard and it's nice that we can bring our alcohol closer to our mouths. Some people complained about the loud noise when you're locking the table into position, but it it sounds like you're doing exactly that, not breaking it. Highly recommend." —Jessica
Get it from Wayfair for $409.99+ (originally $493; available in two colors).
13. A lift-top coffee table with storage that will automatically make you the best game night host in your friend group, because your coffee table can serve as both the storage and the platform.
Promising review: "This mid-century modern coffee table is awesome! It's easy to assemble, sturdy, and seems like it's made of high-quality wood and laminate. It's a great table to work on as it lifts and adjusts at a higher height so you or your children can work more comfortably. You can also store a bunch of stuff in the hidden compartment. It's a huge hidden compartment that can store around 8+ large board games. I like to store art and crafts material for my niece whenever she comes over. Overall, I would highly recommend this table! No complaints here!" —Anh
Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in two colors).
14. A cool slatted storage coffee table that I honestly feel like would solve all of my problems just by having it in my living room, like some sort of emotional centerpiece holding my life together.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this piece! I found it by chance on another site when looking for a coffee table with storage (my bookcase was long past overflowing). But the price on the other site was so high. I checked on Overstock to see if they had it and if the price was any better and I was so ecstatic to find both were true. It’s the perfect combo of function and storage and aesthetic! There’s ample storage, much more than it seems like it has. It’s easy to move around if you want an open space for workouts or a sleepover or something in the living room (wheels on the bottom). There’s a little cubby nook in the center for a nice centerpiece like a candle or plant or just to put the remotes in. And it’s got a cute farmhouse vibe to it. I’m so ecstatic I found this. It’s the best purchase!" —Overstock Customer
Get it from Overstock for $285.45+ (available in three colors).
15. A storage coffee table with a shelf to act as the final piece in the farmhouse theme puzzle you've been searching high and low for...better yet, it's super affordable.
Promising review: "We replaced a large square dark brown faux ottoman with this light colored table. In this (new to us) home the dark ottoman felt like a black hole in the living room! We live near the ocean. I wanted a beachy feel. The light coming in the windows now bounces off the table and brightens the room. This table is sturdy and well made. It’s a bit distressed looking... not overly but just a little and just enough to give it charm. I really love this table! My cats want to drink their water in a bowl on the table (or ottoman previously). I can now sit their bowl on the bottom shelf and it’s out of the way. I assembled and it was easy! It looks wonderful and we got an amazing price... and delivered in one day! I do not understand how Wayfair got it out in the boonies so quick. No complaints here!" —Nancy
Get it from Wayfair for $190.99+ (originally $434.05; available in five colors).
16. A coffee table with storage rattan baskets that easily slide out, giving you full access to your emergency snack rations at a moment's notice.
Promising review: "I’m SO pleased with this purchase. I’ve been searching everywhere for a reasonably priced but not cheap looking coffee table. Despite a couple of negative reviews, I went for this. It arrived three days early, and the packaging had both styrofoam, plastic sheets, and particleboard to protect the pieces. It was easy to assemble — it took me approximately 30 minutes with a pesky cat getting in my way. The baskets were pre-assembled and just folded out into their shape, they fit my board games (even the big Battleship box) and left me room for more. I LOVE this! Definitely worth every cent." —Aubrie
Get it from Amazon for $118.59+ (available in six colors).
17. An oval storage coffee table that will make your living room an instantly cozy, welcoming, and hospitable place for anyone to hang out due to the warm walnut wood to the storage shelf for your comfort items.
18. A pop-up coffee table you need if you basically spend your life on your couch, and would like to now be able to eat, read, and study on it too.
Promising review: "I have had this coffee table for eight or so months and I am still so obsessed with it! It is super sturdy and the pop-up table works great. It also comes fully put together, you just have to attach the legs, which is a plus. It is by far my favorite piece in my living room." —mflynn3
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $699.
19. A geometric glass-top storage coffee table giving off Great Gatsby vibes, to add a glamorous touch you didn't realize it needed.
20. An X-leg coffee table that looks like the coziest place to sit criss-cross applesauce and have a good old fashioned floor dinner while watching your favorite Netflix show.
Doug and Christy Designs is a Texas-based family-owned small biz making handcrafted wooden furniture pieces.
Promising review: "I freakin love my coffee table. It is so beautiful. It’s exactly what I was looking for. If you love that rustic farmhouse look, this is what you need. It’s nice and heavy and sturdy. The pictures don’t do it justice. I’m so glad I was able to find and buy a handmade coffee table. I also purchased two end tables to go with it. I love the whole set. I bought them on sale too. I asked questions and she responded quickly. Shipping was quick too. I just can’t say enough about them. I just absolutely love the whole set. Thank you guys so much." —Christina Baldwin

Get it from Amazon for $54.56+ (available in three colors).
22. A storage coffee table containing two drawers, two shelves, and three vertical slots, for more storage than you'll know what to do with.
Promising review: "This coffee table beyond exceeded my expectations! I wanted a new table that could also fit all the magazines that seem to always pile up. The three slots have plenty of room for magazines and any large books that you may have. I have a huge book that fits no where else because it's so heavy, but this table holds it with no problem! It has so many different spots to hold things that I am still trying to figure out what else I can put in it. The possibilities are endless!" —Katie
Get it from Overstock for $285.55 (originally $369.99).
23. A compartment storage coffee table that has not one, but TWO lift-top trays in addition to ample storage space, so your whole family can veg out on the couch to your heart's content.
Promising review: "This table is freaking AWESOME!!! It's quite sturdy on carpet. I wouldn't recommend for tile or wood floors. (We tested the rising table on our tile floor while being built and it scooted across the floor. On the carpet it was perfect...stable). If you assemble it right everything comes together like it should. It seems to be made of durable hardware and 'wood.' The rising tables gives you everything you need to do at a coffee table without moving it. I would highly recommend. It's what we've been looking for for quite a while. It took us over two hours. We may have put a couple of pieces on backwards at first. Don't be like us...lol.. PAY ATTENTION to 'assembly B or A' and get it right the first time. We love it!!!" —Jennasi
Get it from Amazon for $159.99 (available in three colors).
24. A colorful wood storage coffee table so unique you will want to gatekeep it to high heaven. But it's just on Wayfair, so might as well spread the gospel instead.
Promising review: "I have been looking for a coffee table that has some 'character.' This is a solid, perfect sized coffee table for my space. The storage is great for placing things out of sight yet still handleable. Really love this table." —Gary
Get it from Wayfair for $629.99 (originally $719.99).
25. An extendable storage coffee table on rocker wheels with a hidden wine rack inside (!), as well as tons of storage and mobility. If James Bond ever threw a charcuterie night this would be the table to use.
Promising review: "What a fantastic find! This is not just a cocktail table. It's a conversation piece. I love that it is on casters. I plan to move it into my dining room for holidays and get togethers. With its vintage design it becomes an eclectic piece that adds fun, interest, and surprise functionality to your room setting!" —Sharon
Get it from Wayfair for $779.99+ (available in six colors).
26. A lift-top and drawer storage coffee table reviewers say is super sturdy, functional, and, best of all, comes fully assembled, so you can skip the familial strife and existential frustration and go straight to enjoyment.
Promising review: "BEAUTIFUL. Much sturdier than other lift-top coffee tables we looked at in person. Saw this one at Ashley’s Home Furniture Store. Then found it on Amazon for $100 cheaper. Ashley’s would deliver in six weeks. Got this one from Amazon in a week. Lots of roomy drawers and also extra storage under the lid. We use it every night to eat dinner. Perfect height. On casters but cannot see the casters when looking at it. Rolls easily. Came fully assembled and in perfect shape. Very heavy. We purchased the black one with wood-look top. Top is manufactured wood/plastic product that is very durable. My favorite coffee table of all time." —kdh
