It also means it looks modern and clean at all times and will fit into any decor. As it is cubic, it doesn’t take up a lot of space, but the inner shelf still gives plenty of opportunity for keeping everything in one place.
Very modern looking, and a good budget pick if you don’t want to spend too much on something which could easily suffer spilt drinks and knocks.

Definitely something for those who like to go against the grain. It is manufactured wood but has a look of concrete which is great if you want something industrial.
It sits quite low, so won’t take over a room yet is still a great focal piece. There is a nice amount of storage on the bottom shelf, and the contrast of black and grey is perfect for modern spacious areas.
Grey and copper – the two fashion decor statements that will probably never go out of fashion. With that in mind, this coffee table combines both.
Feng Shui experts say that round coffee tables are the best – they are less ‘harsh’ and can invite conversation. The legs are sturdy yet open, and there are no cubic closed designs so it will ensure your room remains to look open and spacious.
Three-tiered coffee tables commonly look a bit bulky and tall, taking up more space than they need to, so this rotating model is great for those low on room.
The bottom shelf is a white high-gloss design which helps to lift the space and give it a really modern feel. The middle is completely glass for a minimalistic touch, and the upper is oak-design. Essentially, you’re getting three designs in one.
The upper shelf is the one which rotates, and if you spin it 180 degrees you can have more tabletop space, just split over two levels. When you’re done entertaining, turn it back around again to hide your magazines and remotes from immediate view.
You want a storage coffee table, but also want something with a different design which looks a lot more modern than the usual drawer models and easier to navigate than the lift-top models.
This swivel table can be transformed into different shapes with the simple turning of the top layer. When opened up, it is a round shape with the two storage areas exposed. Just swivel it around 90 degrees to make it more of a concave shape, which can also create a bit more space in the room if needed.
The high gloss finish is simple to keep clean with a wipe, and the stainless steel legs are sturdy enough to accommodate any weight. It is available in both black and white, so great for the modern look.
The perfect retro design, with a white gloss finish and an inner Union Jack print.
A hoop design basically means it is a curved oblong/rectangular shape with a hollowed inner, which is where the print is situated. This essentially makes it a two-tiered item, which is great if you need a bit of extra space and storage.
As the print is on the inside, it can both be shown off or hidden from view, depending on the look you are going for.
It isn’t only suitable for use as a coffee table; it would look perfect in a games room or as a console table, including for televisions.
