Coffee table
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A coffee table is a style of long, low table which is designed to be placed in front of a couch, to support beverages (hence the name), magazines, books (especially coffee table books), and other small items to be used while sitting. Coffee tables may also incorporate cabinets for storage. Coffee tables found their way into the West from the Ottoman Empire, where they were a common fixture in tea gardens and other places where coffee was served. They became especially common after the Battle of Vienna in 1683.
