As hard as I try to keep our coffee table nicely arranged, I can’t seem to keep clutter from creeping across the surface: remote controls, laptop chargers, too-old magazines, house keys, and even the contents of emptied pockets somehow show up there instead. What I need is something other than a welcoming flat surface. What I need is a coffee table with storage for stashing and stowing all these things away. Here are our 10 favorite options—some with semi-stealth storage drawers, and others with hydraulic-like systems.
Above: From Woud, the Arc Coffee Table features a circular lid that rotates to reveal a storage compartment within. Available in white and black for $780 at Horne. Above: The Ethnicraft Nordic Coffee Table features a single storage drawer; $1,299 at ABC Carpet & Home. Above: Designed by Lee Mindel for Design Within Reach, the Pocket Table has two hidden drawers with vacuum closures and comes in Oak, Walnut, and White for $971.25 at Design Within Reach. Above: The Woodendot Batea M Coffee Table with Storage comes in eight different color combinations (shown in Black/Black Ash) for £251.99 at Clippings. Above: Restoration Hardware’s Gramercy Coffee Table is made of cast metal with a mirrored tabletop and storage drawers beneath; $1,095 to $1,450. Above: From Urban Green Furniture in Brooklyn, the Thompson Cocktail Table, shown in White, is $839. Above: The Menu Turning Coffee Table comes in Black Ash (shown) and White Oak for $630 at Lekker Home. Above: The West Elm Industrial Storage Pop-Up Coffee Table in Gray opens to reveal a storage component and the elevated portion can be used as a workspace and raised tabletop; $599 at West Elm.
