Coffee tables, a term that sometimes interchangeable with "end tables" or "side tables", come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, materials and even heights. At Tablebases.com, we consider "Coffee Table Height" to be about 18 inches, but it can vary between 16 to 22 inches depending on the height of your surrounding furniture. Luckily, all of the table bases and table legs we make at coffee table height can also be custom cut to whatever specific height you need. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/c4j3Rh5gXvU Coffee tables are usually low tables, meant to be easily accessible while sitting in a lounge chair or a on a couch. While dining table height bases are usually 28 to 30 inches tall to match 18 inch tall dining chairs, coffee tables are matching the much lower heights of modern sofas and lounge furniture. Side tables and end tables are usually a bit taller, closer to 22 inches, to sit near or above the height of the chair or sofa arms. All of them are designed to be utilitarian, a place to set your coffee while you're sitting on the couch. They can also be great statement pieces that show off flowers, decor items, and books.

While minimalism is more about showcasing the beauty of a space on its own, maximalism is more about showcasing who the room belongs to. Lovers of maximalism see every painting and funky secondhand piece of furniture as an extension of themselves, whereas minimalists prefer not to define themselves by their material belongings.
