Housely Taupe Cocktail Table

For a balanced look, your coffee table should be approximately half to two-thirds the length of your sofa. With a 44-inch width, this rectangular table is perfectly scaled for standard three-seat sofas and most mid-sized sectionals. Additionally, its 16.25-inch height aligns with the industry standard for a comfortable reach from typical sofa cushions, which usually sit between 17 and 18 inches high.

This contemporary piece is a customer-assembly item designed with a straightforward panel-leg construction. Because the design utilizes heavy tempered glass for the base, we recommend having two people present during assembly to safely align and secure the glass sides to the table top, ensuring the unit is perfectly level and stable.

A glass-base cocktail table is an excellent strategic choice for urban apartment living or smaller spaces. The transparent tempered glass sides allow light to flow through the piece, creating the illusion of more floor space. This "visual lightness" prevents the room from feeling crowded while still providing a generous 44" x 22" surface for entertaining or working from home.

This table is engineered with thick tempered glass, a material specifically treated through a high-heat process to be significantly stronger and more impact-resistant than standard glass. While its sophisticated appearance may look delicate, the panel-leg design provides sturdy support for everyday items like books, laptops, and decor, making it a reliable centerpiece for a high-traffic den or family room.

The sleek, dark taupe top and glass sides provide a neutral, modern canvas. Based on our interior design expertise, we recommend layering textures to add warmth; pair it with a plush rug or a soft textile pouf, like our Lokit series. For the tabletop, follow the "rule of three" by grouping items of varying heights—such as a stack of books, a small plant, and a textured tray—to create visual interest without overwhelming the contemporary minimalist aesthetic.

To preserve the dark taupe finish and the clarity of the glass, we recommend regular dusting with a soft, lint-free cloth. For the tempered glass panels, our care guidelines suggest using a dedicated glass cleaner or a simple mixture of mild soap and water. Always avoid harsh chemical solvents or abrasive pads, as these can dull the finish or create fine scratches on the glass surface over time.
