Wooden Chest Coffee Table

You can style your wooden chest coffee table by adding a fabric or leather cover, trays on top, or various decorative items such as books, magazines, candles, vases, potted plants, or a bowl with collectibles or design elements to match your decor.

To create a stylish top to your wooden chest coffee table, or to hide dents, scratches, or other blemishes on its surface, throw on a small tablecloth, table runner, or large placemat. Cover the entire chest, just the top surface, or position one slightly slanted to create a stylish look.

Position a small stack of books with a potted plant, or add your favorite magazine and a unique candle holder. Cluster items in groups of three or five and combine pieces of varying heights to give the design visual interest.

Wooden chest coffee tables offer additional storage, so however you style it, make sure the storage area is accessible by simply removing the items you have on top.

A wooden chest coffee table should be about 16” to 18” tall and sit no more than 1” to 2” lower than the seat of your couch. If you own a more elevated couch, opt for a coffee table that is slightly taller, around 20” to 21”. In contrast, you should also ensure your coffee table chest is no shorter than ½ the height of your sofa seat cushions. A coffee table that sits too low is inconvenient to place items on and will have you and your guests reaching downwards.

Wooden chests are hefty pieces of furniture, so ensure there is ample walking space between the table and the couch.

Wooden chest coffee tables are becoming extremely popular due to their style factor and storage capabilities. However, there's more to consider when choosing the right coffee table for you. Your wooden chest coffee table needs to be the right length and width to look in proportion to space and meet the needs of your existing furniture.

The wooden material also needs to match your lifestyle and work well with your existing interior decor style. Storage coffee tables should meet the needs of your family and be kid-friendly as well. The good news is that they have enough storage space for TV remotes and other miscellaneous items.

You can store everything from table games and TV blankets inside your wooden chest coffee table. So anyone looking for a coffee table that stands out from the rest and includes storage space should opt for a coffee table like this.
