What Is a Cocktail Table?

A cocktail table is a low-profile table designed for use in front of seating in living rooms and lounge areas, typically standing 16 to 18 inches tall. The term "cocktail table" and "coffee table" are often used interchangeably, both describing furniture intended for holding beverages, books, and decorative objects within easy reach of sofas and chairs. Modern cocktail tables frequently incorporate glass and metal construction for a contemporary aesthetic.
