Your coffee table doesn’t just have to be plain and boring, it can be practical and funky too. Gone are the days of just rectangular table and in are coffee tables that add something to the home. Take your coffee table and combine it with a magazine rack to get a stylish yet practical piece of wooden furniture.
Since the coffee table is the focal point of your living room interior, you may want to go to a higher end supplier vs. buying whatever is available on Amazon that looks nice in its photo. There are several high-end providers of inexpensive coffee tables, depending on which country you live in. We recommend shopping for ideas first on utopiahome.com.au no matter where you live, and then using those ideas elsewhere if you don’t live in Australia.
Here’s some of the other selection when you go to places like Amazon.

Brentwood coffee table
As far as an actual coffee table with a magazine rack built in the one above is the only one we’d recommend, most others are a standard table with a shelf of draw.
