The large base of this table makes it seem so much more sophisticated than one with four spindly legs.

I saw this while we were at ICFF a couple of weeks ago, and while it was (and is) spectacular, I had no idea it was coated with natural silver, which makes it extremely unattainable to the average consumer. I really do think it's amazing, but, come on, if you're spending that kind of money on a coffee table you might need to visit some third world countries to get some perspective.

"Superficial or authentic? This striking piece puts equal emphasis on surface and substance. Using a proprietary process, a massive block of wood is coated with a brilliant layer of natural silver, and a bloom of tarnish around the knots and cracks, resulting in a piece whose stunning surface does nothing to hide the individuality and character of the wood beneath."

At first glance, the top of this table looks to be steel, but instead it's made from a nice dark gray oak veneer. Also, I like the legs jut out ever so slightly, and how the corners are rounded instead of squared off in sharp angles; both lend a little more personality than it would have had otherwise.

This looks like a good choice if you need bench with storage options for miscellany.

"This exceptionally comfortable bench is perfect in an entryway, living room, or bedroom. But what makes it really special is that this bench is also a coffee table, a storage unit, and a shelf! Solid pine frame houses three drawers to conveniently store anything from gloves and scarves to DVDs, plus a roomy and decorative shelf to store smaller items within easy reach. Moveable bent tray slides horizontally or can be removed completely."

Sizing in at 5' long, this coffee table would do a great job of filling up a room (if you're lucky enough to need that sort of thing).

"Roughhewn planks of recycled wood are beautifully rustic, while iron caster legs add a modern feel. Perfect for adding a hint of nature to sleek spaces."

Yes, the price does seem more on the high side of what seems reasonable for a few side tables, but considering there are 10 of them, each one sporting different shades of neutral enamel tops, it doesn't seem as bad..maybe because each one (if sold separately) would be $175.

"Driftwood spread across the shore is the impetus behind this unique design. The ultimate in modern nature, these low tables are fully functional, as they are fastened with metal and enamel tops. An inspired way to redefine and re-use earth's creations. Natural."

From 7 3/4" to 15 3/4".

While I'm not quite sure what this table is made of, it does have the interesting (rough?) three-legged base that contrasts nicely with the rounded/oblong glass top.
