Coffee Tables

The coffee table is the glue that brings the style and the social aspects of a living room or family room together. Not only do they add an elegant, conversation-sparking accent to a space, but they also keep your TV remotes, magazines, video game controllers and other knick-knacks off the sofa and the floor. The best coffee table is the one that complements your room's decor and is comfortable and functional. At Walmart.com, you'll find an assortment of coffee tables in a large selection of styles ranging from modern to farmhouse to transitional and more.

First, you should consider how and where you're going to use the coffee table. Coffee tables are usually placed in front of a sofa, so they should be at comfortable height for those in a sitting position. Lift-top coffee tables are a popular choice for families that eat at the sofa; the top of the table pulls out and rises so you don't have to hunch over to eat your meal. You should also consider the material of your coffee table so that it matches the style of your room and suits your budget.

• Manufactured wood: Also known as engineered wood, it's a value-oriented alternative to solid wood, while still providing the classic woodgrain look.
• Glass: Glass coffee tables take advantage of transparency to reduce visual mass. They're easy to clean, but they're also more fragile, so you should go for a sturdier table if you live with children, large pets or clumsy housemates.
• Faux marble: Like manufactured wood, faux marble is a great way to spice up your room without breaking the bank.

Many different kinds of coffee tables are available at Walmart.com, including table sets with matching end tables for a chic, coordinated look.
