How to Choose a Live Edge Coffee Table

A live edge coffee table brings the natural outline of the wood into the center of a living room. Before choosing one, measure the space, think about how the table will be used, and compare the available size and finish options.

Measure the room first

Use painter’s tape or a piece of cardboard to mark the table’s approximate footprint between your sofa and chairs. Check that people can walk around it comfortably and that it sits within easy reach of the seating. If the table will sit in front of a sofa, compare its length and height with the sofa so the finished arrangement feels balanced.

Consider the wood’s natural edge

With a live edge table, the outline is part of the look. Think about how the natural edge will relate to the straight lines in your room and whether the table’s overall shape suits the available space. Because sizes can vary, confirm the measurements of the specific table before ordering.

Choose a finish that fits the room

The 720 Designs live edge coffee table is offered in dark or natural finishes, with satin or glossy polyurethane. A satin finish has a softer sheen, while a glossy finish reflects more light. Compare the options with nearby flooring, furniture, and lighting before deciding.

Check availability before ordering

The table has a 2-inch-thick top and 16-inch black hairpin legs. Sizes vary and supplies are limited, so contact 720 Designs to confirm that the size you want is available. Review the product options and current details in the live edge coffee table collection.
