What the AI looks for in Coffee Tables

Length vs sofa
Aim for a coffee table about two-thirds the length of the sofa. This proportion leaves the table reachable from every seat without making the room look crowded.
Height
The top should be level with the sofa seat or 1 to 2 inches lower. At this height you can set things down easily and the table sits right visually.
Lift-top mechanism
If you want a lift top, check that it uses gas or spring-assisted hinges and look for a stated weight limit for the raised top. Cheap lift mechanisms are the most common failure point and can pinch fingers.
Edge shape for families
With small children, prefer rounded or oval tops or softened corners. Sharp corners at toddler head height are a real injury risk.

What to avoid

Questions
