Proportions that work in Pickering living rooms
A coffee table should sit roughly two thirds the length of the sofa and within an inch or two of the seat height — 16" to 18" for most modern sofas. Condos and semis around Bay Ridges, Amberlea, Rougemount usually land on a 44" × 24" or 48" × 26" top with 16" of walking room to the seat front. Square rooms take a 36" × 36" top well. We draw the table against your sofa dimensions before cutting.
Weight, thickness and daily life
Coffee tables live harder than dining tables — feet, laptops, glasses without coasters. We build tops at 1.5" or 2", ease the edges so shins survive, and finish in a hardwax oil that takes a water ring out with a pad and a little more oil. Block plinth bases are not offered on coffee tables; pedestal, slab-leg, shelf-panel and four-leg bases are.
Coffee Tables sizes we build most often
| Size | Seats | Best for |

| 36" × 36" | Square rooms | Pairs with an L-shaped sofa |

| 48" × 26" | 3 seat sofa | Room for a tray and books |

Coffee Tables in Pickering — questions
- What height should a coffee table be?
- Between 16" and 18" for most sofas — level with the seat cushion or an inch below it. We set leg height to your sofa when you order, so the table suits your Pickering room rather than an average one.
- Can I get a coffee table that matches my dining table?
- Yes. Ordering both together means the same oak, the same grain pattern and the same finish batch, which is not something you can rely on when buying two pieces off a shop floor.
- Do you deliver coffee tables to Pickering?
