The coffee table owes its origins to late Victorian Europe and to this day imagining one summons up images of convivial conversation and relaxed postures. The idea of a long low table designed to be used next to a sofa or other low seating was probably brought to England from Japan, although tables there tended to be more angular. The concept of an oval coffee table is a more modern idea and represents an evolution in the development of the style of this most friendly of low tables.

Modern Glass Oval Coffee Table
Despite being a relatively modern phenomenon, there are a wide variety of tables to choose from today, including contemporary designs such as this glass oval coffee table from Walker Edison.
This ultra modern oval glass top coffee table features split level frosted glass shelves and is sized at approximately 38 x 20 x 18 inches.
Wooden Coffee Tables
Perhaps you require something more homely and comforting? Natural wood is a more traditional choice and there are many options available. Perhaps all those exposed glass edges were too much and despite them being tempered and bevelled you just do not feel comfortable allowing young children or pets near them? Here is a lovely compromise.
Cappucino Finish Oval Coffee Table with Glass Center
This table is a solid and well built design with a useful lower shelf. The bevelled rings around the top edge make an interesting design feature that could perhaps be used to echo similar features in your own home.
Although this is the most expensive table here the quality of this item is evident to any inspection.
This item measures 32 x 52 x 20 inches approximately.
