Coffee Tables On Wikipedia 

A coffee table, also called a cocktail table, is a style of long, low table which is designed to be placed in front of a sofa, to support beverages (hence the name), magazines, feet, books (especially coffee table books), and other small items to be used while sitting, such as coasters. Coffee tables are usually found in the living room or sitting room. They are available in many different variations and prices vary from style to style. Coffee tables may also incorporate cabinets for storage.

The idiom "Gather round the coffee table" is derived from the furniture piece and its proclivity for encouraging conviviality and light conversation.

Our Glass Coffee Table 

A Compromise For Love

There was never a greater pain in my neck than picking out a Glass Coffee and Side Table Set with my wife. It was really quite a hassle, and no question about that. We are both people of strong tastes and both used to having our own way in things. In our personal lives, this usually amounts to no obstacle, as we are both prudent enough to let the other have some space. However, whenever it is a matter of redecorating the house or changing some matter of our routine, be it the layout of the living room, or the color of the walls, everything suddenly goes quite mad quite quickly. Such was definitely the case when we set out to pick up a new crystal top coffee table.

We went to a dozen stores which sold coffee tables, but could not agree on a single one. I like to think of myself as the one with the more modern, tasteful eye. When I look for a glass coffee table, I want simple, economical lines, an elegant and functional design, and a size perfect for the center of our living room. In comparison to my practicality, however, my wife has an aesthetic that is perfectly rococo. She looked at every glass coffee table that seemed to me to be quaint or vulgar. Her idea of the perfect crystal coffee table would probably have lions feet and jewel encrusted coffee mug holders spiraling out of the corner. Had she lived in the court of Louis XIV, she probably could have picked out alabaster coffee tables for the royal house and been lavishly complemented for her taste. As it stood though, I was not about to let her be the one to pick the coffee table for our house.

It really very nearly ended in a fight between the two of us. Our fights are not simple matters, they are epic. The memory of the last one makes me positively quake on recollection. So, as must eventually happen, I yielded halfway to my wife's questionably taste, as she did to mine, and we eventually found a
Glass and Aluminum Coffee Table
that suited both of us reasonably well, though it was by no means anyone's favori

Marble Coffee Tables 

A rich and luxurious addition to your home.

Marble has a beautiful appearance, and can be a rich and luxurious addition to your home. While marbled counter tops and floors can be more trouble than they're worth, Marble Coffee Tables are a great alternative to adding something posh to your furniture collection. They're solid, easy to care for and will last a lifetime, not to mention being attractive through any home decor designing trend.

These pieces of furniture are beautiful and durable, but they do need a certain amount of maintenance to keep them stain-free and lasting forever. Marble is a rock formed from sea-shell deposits, and the main ingredient of sea shells is calcium carbonate. Acid can work its way under the polish or finish of marble-like coffee tables, soak into the porous rock, and slowly disintegrate your beautiful furniture into fine sand.

So you'll just avoid acids near the table, right? Think again as one of the most common cleaning agents in cleaning products today is vinegar, a definite acid. Keep vinegar and anything containing vinegar far away from marbled coffee tables to makes sure they stay in one piece! When you need to clean them, use a combination of baking soda and warm water to wipe your furniture down, air dry for a couple of hours, then wipe the tables down again to rinse them off. When you're looking for a little more shine on the surface of your marble coffee tables, use white chalk powder and a wet rag for polishing, then rinse and allow the surface to dry.

As with any table, they are going to get a fair share of usage. You may want to cover the surface with glass, to prevent scratching and stains, but in case you haven't gotten around to it, quick stain fixes can be easily whipped up. Any sugar-based stains can be scrubbed with a few drops of liquid dish detergent combined with warm water. Food stains on marblelike coffee tables need quick action with the same soapy water that has some hydrogen peroxide added. Rub the it, flood it with the solution (wipe up excess water immediately) and repeat. Never let any stain absorb into the rock and dry, or the mark will remain permanently.

Considering the damage that can be done just through staining or marble coffee tables coming into contact with the wrong product, this type of furniture isn't the best to have around if you've got small children. Toddlers and young children touch all sorts of things and hang onto furniture for stability, and its better to cover the surface of marble coffee tables with glass than to be constantly trying to scrub out stains.

If you're cautious about stains and cleaning products, marble is fairly maintenance free and its durability and beauty will last for ages. The colors of the polished rock are very pretty, and marble coffee tables make for interesting conversation pieces and will heighten the look of your room.
