The right coffee table length, height and gap for your sofa.
How this works
A coffee table should be about two thirds the length of your sofa, the same height as the seat or up to 5 cm lower, and 40 to 45 cm from the sofa edge so you can reach a drink but still walk past. Round tables are usually about half the sofa length.
