Coffee Table Height: The Perfect Match

The Golden Rule

Your coffee table should be the same height as your sofa seat cushions, or 1-2 inches lower.

Why Height Matters

Too high: arms strain. Too low: you hunch forward. The right height keeps items within easy reach.

Shape and Proportion

Table length should be about 2/3 the sofa length. Leave 14-18 inches between sofa and table.

Low-Profile Sofas

Modern low sofas (15-inch seats) need 13-15 inch tables.

Multi-Level Options

Nesting tables offer flexibility for various activities.
