Are chess coffee tables functional?

A chess coffee table can be a functional and unique addition to your living room that makes guests feel instantly at ease. The quirky black and white checkering on the surface transforms your coffee table into a focal point of the room, providing an inviting ambiance.

To ensure the table remains usable, refrain from storing the chess and checkers pieces on the tabletop. Invest in a chess coffee table that has drawers designated for storing them, so they’re out of the way but are easily accessible when you want to play a game.

The best feature of chess coffee tables is that they can look great in rustic or contemporary homes depending on the table you select. You can opt for a classic wooden coffee table with a chessboard built into a section of the tabletop, or go ultra-modern with a bold and thick coffee table that is a massive checkered black and white board.

How tall are chess coffee tables?

Chess coffee tables are typically around 28” high but can vary by 6” or more depending on the type of room they are designed for. Chess coffee tables are meant to sit between two couches or lounge chairs, so they are usually high enough off the floor that people can reach them easily.

Make sure to look closely at the manufacturer’s measurements for your chess coffee table before you buy, as they can vary significantly. Some are designed to sit between very low or high couches. In some cases, a chess table set may work better if you set it on top of another table.
