The living room is the most popular place for entertaining guests, and when friends or family visit, it's usual to offer them a drink. Whether it is water, wine, tea, or coffee, you'll need a coffee table for setting the drink down on in between sips.
It is vital that your coffee table is robust and well made so that it will not easily wobble if knocked. Wobbly coffee tables mean spilt drinks, and mess on your carpet or rug. To avoid this, steer clear from cheap, badly made coffee tables, and drink in peace with a robust coffee table made of solid wood. Here at Puji we specialise in furniture made from solid teak, which is a particularly strong and durable.
The coffee table is not typically the most expensive piece of furniture in the room, but since it is in the centre it will often attract the most attention. Coffee tables can be a stunning focal point of the room if you choose the right one. Our guide below introduces a few of the key pieces in our current range.

Different coffee tables address different needs. If you have a small space and want something quite versatile, the Box Coffee Table is a useful piece because it comes with a smaller nested side table. When you're entertaining guests, you can simply pull it out so that you have two points in the room to put your drinks down on. This makes it easy for people on different sides of the room to use.
If you have an excess of clutter, why not get a coffee table with storage inside? The FJ Coffee Table helps to clear your space, and hide away things from view. You could put in CDs or DVDs, or perhaps use one drawer as the ‘goodie' drawer with biscuits or chocolates to have with your coffee. If you want something with a slimmer look that still offers storage space, take a look at the Klasik Coffee Table with drawers.
The Wave Wood Coffee Table is an attention grabbing, curvaceous piece that will look great with large books arranged in the space underneath. The top isn't flat so we recommend making use of a tray to avoid full mugs of tea from spilling everywhere. When not in use, the coffee table stands as a sculpture in your living room.
If you want to make a statement by introducing Eastern influences into your living room, then the Shanxi Coffee Table could be for you. This design has beautiful feature legs creating an Arabian Nights feel in your own home.
The Colonial Coffee Table is a particularly classic piece and is made from reclaimed teak from old Colonial buildings in Indonesia. This coffee table will effortlessly add character to your living room, and the textured chunkiness of the wood will allude to its history in its far-away home. Left in its natural unfinished state, this solid teak coffee table is a light golden brown colour.
To brighten up your living room, why not inject some colour and decoration? Coffee tables are very useful places to put decorative objects such as vases of flowers or ornaments. The natural beauty of the wood can be spectacularly highlighted with a bouquet of flowers or objects made from natural fibres, such as the Bark Bongo Vase.
If your coffee table has a display shelf, like the Ginger 2 Drawer, you'll need something to decorate it with. Our Buddha head is a popular choice, simply perfect for adding a touch of exoticism to your home. You could even make use of the space with our Wine Rack which makes the bottles look decorative (as well as tempting...) or you could put cushions in the space, transforming the look of the table into something more soft and even more tactile.
If you'd rather keep the coffee table for coffee but you still want accessories in your living room, a side or end table could be the solution for you. We offer matching side tables to each of the products in our range. The Modis side table is the little sister of the Modis Coffee Table - how can you resist buying the two together? Side tables are great for displaying photo frames and also are a great place for lamps.
If you're decking out your whole living room, check out our sofas too. The Madeline-Anne sofa is the epitome of soft comfort, while the Eden sofa is subtle and modern.
