Cottage style coffee table

19 years ago

Hello - Does anyone have any suggestions where I can find the following coffee table?

Rectangular

Has to have at leaset one drawer (DH request)

Two levels (i.e. top and bottom)

Inexpensive (preferrably less than $200 but negotiable)

Beach House / cottage styling but NOT country looking

(I'd like white but could probably work with a darker color too)

The closest I've found was Ethan Allen (Cottage Coffee Table) but it doens't have a drawer and is very pricey.

Any other ideas? (I'm in Central VA and wouldn't mind ordering online but I won't be heading long distances for a coffee table alone)

Thanks!

    Try Broyhill "Costal Way", "pleasant isle", and "urban view" collections. Also, look at Stanley Furniture "Portofino Ivory".

    Target has this one. It has the levels, but instead of drawers it has baskets. It's under $200.00 and wood. Also check out JC Penney.

    Here is a link that might be useful: coffee table

    Grassgirl - Do have a look at Kathypass's table. Those wicker baskets can be very usable. I fell in love with and bought on impulse an Ethan Allen coffee table, very large, slightly French lines, pine, with three wicker baskets. Anyone familiar with EA knows this table. Got it home and boy, did it NOT work in my LR. We shifted furniture around and it just would not work. Two days before the EA people were to come and pick it up, DH and I shifted it into the den. Even thought it's huge, it's perfect there. I like the baskets rather than drawers, as they can be accessed from both sides of the table.

    This was a long drawn-out way of saying that you might consider baskets instead of drawers.

    An additional source to check might be the Home Decorators catalog (haven't been to their website). Their furniture is relatively inexpensive and they have every conceivable style and finish.

    Some brands to consider would be Leisters furniture, Brown street, and AA Laun (sp?). All have painted finishes.

    Pottery barn also has a nice white coffee table.

    I am considering the Leister's coastal collection for my "cottage" family room, or the Brown street shaker collection...in painted two-tone finishes.

    My favorite is the Leisters passages collection, which I am about to order for my shaker/english country style living room...The passages collection comes with wooden knobs (in addition to metal ones). ALthough I'm ordering in a dark finish, I have seen the passages collection in painted finishes and it looks cottage style.

    Let me know what you decide! I would not recommend ordering from EA! You could get better quality for less $. The Leister's coffee tables are about $300-400.

    Thanks everyone for the great suggestions. I'm checking them all out.

    As for baskets vs drawers...well DH has the requirement and he really doesn't ask for much, so I'll give him a drawer...or two!

    Actually, he is right, we don't have any other furniture in the living room with a drawer so it is the only place to store pens, note pads, remotes, etc that are easily accessible. Most of the baskets would be too deep for that.

    The hunt continues...
