We search and search every week trying to find the best coffee tables - and like last week - sometimes we come up empty handed. But this week? WOW. Instead of the old square - let me put my feet up coffee tables we usually find, I've got a gem. This coffee table from 45 Degrees Design has a 1/8" thick teak veneer for the top and solid mahogany legs attached by loose tenons (okay - no idea what tenons are). Hey - we just like it.

We love coffee tables and admit that in the past we may have been won over by other fish tank coffee tables but this one is it! The Clear-Seal coffee table aquarium comes with a toughened glass top that has polished rounded edges. It has either a reproduction or mirror corner section that covers the filter and lighting system. Best of all it has all the ammenities to get rid of that filter noise some fish tank coffee tables have!
You may also be interested in this very cool Octagonal Coffee Table Fish Tank. Resting on a black acrylic pedestal, each table aquarium is illuminated from below a bed of blue glass gravel. Complete with pump, lighting, decorative plants, and two-stage submersible filter pump. A solid top completes the system designed to provide years of enjoyment. Shaped to fit your interior placement in octagon style. This aquarium is an innovative art-in-motion aquatic habitat. Model 680 readiy creates a relaxed atmosphere while serving as a designer coffee table. Viewed from all sides, this luxury table is illuminated from beneath a bed of blue glass gravel. The AquaTable coffee table aquarium is ideal for any living room, office, or bedroom setting.

I can see myself flying on this table after consuming one too many Sumatra filled cups of coffee in the morning! Made of solid cast aluminum with a starburst base, the tempered glass on this coffee table is made to withstand the most grueling boggle tournaments.

I love a unique, translucent coffee table made out of aluminum. The glass may or may not be included on this aluminum wonder, but I think the ultra-futuristic styling is. You can also get this baby custom sized to fit your coffee needs.

They say it's cheesy - I say it's a work of coffee table art! Anything with ground effects lighting for your living room has to be COOL!!!! :-)
"Patriotism might be the last refuge of the scoundrel, and all that, but that doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate a good flag especially when it is as iconic, and indeed retrodelic, as our very own Union Jack. Not entirely sure we want one taking pride of place in our living room, but if you do fancy adding the red, white and blue to your lounge, obviously in a mod-esque ironic, kitsch kinda way, The Paramount Zone has this wonderfully cheesy Union Jack illuminated coffee"

So square...so Alan? Oh well - I'm sure it's named after the designer or something. :-)
"A square coffee table with a substantial presence. Design highlights include the chunky Parsons base and formed brass tabletop with a hand-applied, antiqued patina."

"Bring a unique piece of strength and beauty into your home with this solid steel and glass coffee table. The second shelf sits 7.75 inches below the top. The multiple layers of glass not only provide additional space but create unique reflections and depth as light bounces between them. Add our Quarter Tables and End Tables to create your own unique space."

I'm sure...SO SURE...you'll get many compliments on this coffee table, especially when you swivel out a nice cup of single serve coffee!!! :-)
"You'll get lots of compliments on this contemporary designed wedge shaped oak veneer cocktail table with its unique lift top for easy access. Both the top and bottom base have smooth rounded edges and curved legs for support. This table is also on casters and measures 42x42x17h."

Oooh...mesquite...smoke some ribs and a nice cup of joe...
"Each mesquite coffee table is hand crafted with care to create a work of art to be cherished and enjoyed for many years in your home. The stable nature of mesquite and the rustic character of the wood, with its earthy grain and subtle imperfections, make mesquite tables a popular choice for adding rustic elegance to any southwest or spanish colonial decor."
