There are so many great coffee tables out there, but we went on a mission to find the ones that truly stand out. For us, the best coffee tables modern homes need shouldn’t just be pretty, they should be super functional too.. So after a whole lot of scrolling and searching, we put together a list of our top picks that deserve a spot in any modern and stylish home.

The cool thing? Coffee tables don’t have to be huge or have all kinds of fancy features to be a perfect fit for your space.

That said, we still found a few larger ones with storage and even hidden seating. From affordable gems under $200 to luxurious designs. This is a list of coffee tables modern homes need. It has a little something for every taste and budget.

Most Unique Pick

Serena & Lily Truro Coffee Table

$1,998 at Serena & Lily

Why we love it

• It has a high-quality base, which is made from resin.

Some things to keep in mind

• Shipping can take some time.

• You have to handle it with care because the top can stain easily.

This coffee table has that signature Serena & Lily coastal vibe.

The top is made from real fossilized clams that were collected from a remote island in the Philippines and turned into this beautiful, polished surface that instantly catches the eye. The base is made from tough resin with a hand-finished touch, so it’s just as practical as it is pretty.

Size: 36" diameter x 18" height

Materials: Fossilized clam shells + resin

Assembly: None. It arrives ready to go!

Best for Both Indoors & Outdoors

West Elm Monti Lava Stone Coffee Table

$599 at West Elm

Why we love it

• Works great indoors and outside

• It’s handmade in the Philippines.

• It comes with white glove delivery (no heavy lifting for you!)

Keep in mind 

• Liquids can leave stains that won’t come out.

At first glance, this coffee table looks super heavy, but it’s actually not as intense as it seems. You can even use it outdoors if you want! But we personally think it looks the best indoors with just a couple of stylish items on top, maybe a pretty vase and your favorite coffee table book.

Size: 30" diameter x 14" height

Materials: Volcanic stone, resin, fiberglass

Assembly: Nope, it comes ready to use!

Best for Thoughtful Design

Homary 2-Tiered Japandi Coffee Table

Now $89 (Originally $500) at homary.com

Why we love it

• An extra shelf means extra storage.

• It’s great for small spaces.

• Super budget-friendly

Keep in mind

• It can be a bit tricky to clean.

This little table might look big in pictures, but it’s actually just over 31 inches wide. It’s perfect if you're short on space. It even comes fully assembled. The top has a slightly raised edge, which is great if you tend to knock things over. No more chasing runaway remotes or pens.

There’s also a lower shelf where you can stash things you don’t need out all the time. And that caned detail on the sides, it’s a total vintage charm. We’re obsessed.

Size: 31.5" diameter x 16.1" height

Material: Wood

Assembly: None, it comes ready to go.
