Size Matters

The size of your coffee table should be proportionate to your outdoor space and complement your seating arrangements. Consider these size considerations for harmonious results:

Coffee Table Length - As a general rule, your coffee table should be around two-thirds the length of your sofa. However, this can vary depending on your space and layout. Long, narrow tables work well with L-shaped seating arrangements, while round tables create an inviting gathering point in smaller spaces.

Height Considerations

Ideally, your coffee table should be at the same height as your couch cushions or slightly lower for comfortable resting of drinks and remotes. Standard coffee table heights range from 16 to 18 inches, but you can adjust this based on your specific needs and furniture.
