What the AI looks for in Patio Coffee Tables
- Height vs seat
- Aim for the tabletop to sit within about 2 in. of the sofa or lounge seat height, usually about 14-18 in. Patio sofas and deep seating vary a lot in height.
- Length vs sofa
- Around two-thirds of the sofa's length, with about 14-18 in. of space to the seat edge. Keeps the table reachable without blocking legs.
- Top and drainage
- Slatted, sealed teak, HDPE or aluminum tops drain; plain wood and unsealed stone stain. Coffee tables catch rain, leaves and drink rings in the middle of the seating area.
