Origin and History

After the coffee table came out during the Victorian era, it became widely used along with center tables, end tables and the tea tables. Around the 1780s, the low back sofas were becoming popular, leading to the appearance of the coffee table as we know it today.

One of the earliest models was made by E. W. Goodwin in 1868. However there are some who contend that the low style table emerged around the 1870s. There are even some low table styles that were used in ancient Greece.

Coffee tables are available in modern or classical designs; what you choose depends on your home’s design. Of course, the coffee table dimensions must fit the arrangement of your living room.
