    Tip for buying a coffee table: choice size and shape

    Obviously, if you have a small room, you'll want a smaller coffee table. The shape can often help with this dilemma. For instance I've seen round coffee tables of all sizes and the lack of pointy corners make navigating around them in a small room much easier. If you have a McMansion, or real Mansion, you're probably not reading this; however, a large, impressive coffee table is probably your best choice as it won't look out of place or give a 'doll house' toy effect.
    Rectangles and squares work well and squares often offer a place for more people to sit near and place their drink or snack on (or, if you're in my house, prop your feet up on). Ovals help in much the same way as round - less sharp corners to bump into. Rounds and ovals will give Grandma fewer heart attacks when babies or toddlers approach them as all we can think of is 'they're going to knock their eye out!"

    Thanks for the good tips linhlam! Another important tip is to support local/small artists.

    With that in mind, here is a shameless plug for a friend and neighbor of mine in Austin, TX. Her name is Jennifer James Wright and she makes very stylish Flip Top Birch Coffee Tables. Check em out at http://www.gezelligprint.com if you're in the market for designer coffee tables.
