Why are modern coffee tables so low?
1 Answer
Modern coffee tables tend to be low because they’re most commonly placed in front of couches and chairs. Historically, coffee tables were placed behind the couch which necessitated a taller table. Over time, as styles changed and coffee tables came to be positioned in front of couches, their heights were lowered to accommodate the modern arrangement. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of vintage and contemporary coffee tables from some of the world’s top sellers.

Mastercraft Brass and Glass Ming Coffee Table c. 1970s
By Mastercraft
Located in Saint Louis, MO
Ming tables have adorned royalty for dynasties and with this brass 1970s Ming coffee table by Mastercraft you can see why. Wide brass Asian Ming legs curve out and away from the coffee table with a sense of optimism and prosperity. They anchor the chic coffee and gently glow. Scrolled feet finish and accentuate the flowing legs. See photo 2 to really grasp how this table glows and incorporates surrounding pieces in its brass reflections. Thick tempered beveled glass with cut corners to highlight those forward arching legs. Glass sits atop a split brass square base. The lower table base section angles in purposeful symmetry with the tables legs for uninterrupted lines and reflections. A table fit for royalty dressed in modern couture.
