Help me choose a coffee table for the living room
We have a spacious living room in our apartment, walls painted in Pure White, the floors and the rug are like this:
Plan to buy a neutral colored sectional at West Elm that will look something like this:
Want to choose a coffee table - the purpose is for the drinks/snacks while watching TV. Looking on Litfad: https://www.litfad.com/marble-stone-coffee-tables_90c-23206328-23207039.html as well as Wayfair. Macys.com and Amazon.
In the adjacent dining room we have this solid wood table (dark walnut color). Not sure if the coffee table color should match it:
I wanted one with the white or marble like top (faux marble, stone, sintered stone, etc.), or at least scratch resistant that is easy to clean. Something like this:https://www.litfad.com/2-tier-elliptical-coffee-table-with-1-shelf-and-container-storage-for-foyer-white-47l-x-24w-x-16h-s-6776089.html
My daughter says that we need to buy the one made of solid wood in dark walnut or something like that, and that this white marble stuff looks outdated. We don't have any design sense. Would appreciate any advice. Budget of up to $600.

last yearHow about a different texture...rattan or wicker. You could choose one that has the tone of the table and black accents (chair legs).

OK, I still think you need a different texture and not heavy wood like the farm table and bench (that's why I considered the trunk from PB.)
How about matching the tone of the chairs?
If you are keeping the trestle table and bench, you don't want to throw in brass and glass table. - last year

I would not try to match the dining room table. Maybe with a deep sofa with a chaise, a few small tables would be more functional
Asher from West Elm.
Or something functional like Room and Board Slim C-tables, which come in 17 colors. These just kind of blend in.

The one from Litfad isnt the right style for the rest of your furniture. Consider something with simple lines like this one from Macy’s.

PROlast yearSorry but this coffee table you like table is not a good look with your other selections. IMO it's going to look even worse on that light rug.

Don't discount have a piece of glass cut for the top of the table.

Room and Board makes Parson coffee tables with steel legs which can be powder coated in a number of colors and has multiple top options.
They also make the Slim series of tables, like C table I sent, in coffee table sizes:
These are 46"-48" in width.
The reason though that I suggested the C-table style, which Room and Board offers both in the Slim and Parsons line though, is because if you are going to be eating on a large sofa, this style of table pulls up close to the sofa rather that you have to lean over to a large table that has to be far enough away from the soft to get around it. They are particularly convenient for the chaise part of the sofa.
