Add the Right Coffee Table to Your Space with the IC1
What makes a great coffee table? As you shop for a table that will serve your home or business well, you probably want to find something that looks great and matches the aesthetic you have established for the space. At the same time, it needs to be a durable, sturdy product that is going to withstand the test of time.
It's not always easy to find durability and visual appeal in the same package. There are some great-looking tables that just aren’t solid enough for daily use, and there are some extremely sturdy tables that you wouldn’t want to give a second look.
Bring the two together in the IC1 Custom Coffee Table. This is a piece that was inspired by the popular industrial design aesthetic, but it’s about far more than just good looks. Like all of the other products we sell here at CopperSmith, it has been constructed to a high standard of quality and durability and will be able to take whatever abuse comes its way. Learn more about this appealing piece below.
Flexible Customization Options to Fit Your Coffee Table Needs
The category of “coffee table” evokes a certain image of a relatively small, low-standing table that is usually placed in front of a chair or couch. However, in practice, coffee tables can come in many different shapes and sizes – and at CopperSmith, we understand that your idea of a coffee table might be a little different than what most retailers sell as stock.
We are able to serve our customers effectively by offering as many customizations as possible throughout our product line. You can see that concept brought to life in the IC1 Coffee Table, as nearly everything about the table can be dialed in to perfectly suit your needs and preferences. Some of the available customizations include.
- Choose the right top. Due to the low height of a coffee table, it is the top that will be seen mostly as people walk around the piece and look down from above. Fortunately, you’ll find that our IC1 table is available with many different top finish options for you to consider. Looking for a wood table top? We have some of the prettiest woods available in this model, including oak, walnut, and even teak. If you’d like an appearance similar to stone without the cost or weight, look at our solid surface tops in finish such as grey vein and white waterstone. Finally, there are metal tops included in this collection for those who really want to lean into the industrial vibe. These include copper, stainless steel, and brass table tops in various finishes.
- Legs to match – or contrast. It’s true that the legs of a coffee table aren’t seen quite as much as with a taller table, but they are still an important part of the aesthetic. On the IC1, the legs are made from steel for performance and durability, and more than 20 finishes are available. We have white and black leg options, a palette of bright colors, and stainless steel options for you to consider.
- Get the dimensions right. If you will be using this coffee table in a traditional setting, such as in front of a couch, your dimensions will need to line up perfectly with that existing piece. There are six lengths from 42’’ to 72’’ available, along with five widths from 24’’ to 36’’. With so many potential size combinations – 30, in total – it shouldn’t be any trouble at all to dial in the fit for your space just right.
The only other choice you will need to make when designing your IC1 table is the thickness of the top material. You can choose from 1’’, 1.5’’, and 2’’ thicknesses – all will perform wonderfully over the years so it’s just a matter of which look you like best. Every IC1 coffee table comes with a standard height of 18’’.
One Thing About the IC1 Can’t Be Changed
Customers come back to CopperSmith again and again in large part because of the customization features that we offer. But that’s not the only reason to shop at CopperSmith – it’s the quality of our products that tends to steal the show in the end.
That’s certainly the case with the IC1. No matter what design choices you make, and no matter what features you include, the quality of the table will not be impacted. What you receive after placing your order is going to be something that you are proud to have in your home or business – and it is something that is going to stand the test of time.
Where Are You Going to Place This Table?
A big part of making the right design choices for your new coffee table is knowing where this table is going to go once you receive it. That information will inform how big the table needs to be and what kind of look will make the most sense for the space. So, where are coffee tables used? The sky is the limit, including the following possibilities.
- Living room. Of course, this is the natural setting for a coffee table, and what you picture first when thinking about buying this kind of piece. A quality coffee table is a great option in front of a couch or some chairs as a place to set drinks or snacks, to rest a book or a laptop, or just to give the space some definition and direct the flow of foot traffic around the room. If the rest of your living room furniture is already in place and you just need a great coffee table to bring it all together, the IC1 is the way to go.
- Reception area. In a commercial setting, it’s hard to beat a high-end coffee table or two to make a reception area feel welcoming as well as functional. You may have some seats around the room for customers or clients to use while they wait, and placing coffee tables in front of those seats is a natural design choice. With the IC1, you’ll be able to select the right dimensions for each table, and thanks to the quality construction that is always delivered by CopperSmith, you can be sure that the tables will hold up to even heavy use in a busy office.
- Patio. This might not be your first thought, but a coffee table can be an excellent addition to a patio space. After all, a patio is often nothing more than an outdoor living room, so why not have a coffee table to make the patio more comfortable and useful? As long as you select suitable materials for outdoor conditions – which is no problem when shopping with CopperSmith – you’ll be able to outfit your patio with a beautiful coffee table that holds up to the weather.
Your Coffee Table Can Be a Nice Contrasting Piece
With CopperSmith, you have the freedom to control the size of the coffee table you order. While the larger end of our available dimensions could allow you to create a rather sizeable table, it’s likely that this won’t be the biggest piece in the room. For example, if you’ll be using it in a living room with a couch, the couch will be the dominant piece and the coffee table will be something of a complementary piece.
That being said, it often works well from a design perspective to use your coffee table to balance things out and provide some contrast. Have mostly softer, traditional materials in the room? Maybe go with a metal top on your table to bring a modern touch. Or, you could use a wood top to add a natural element in a room that is already quite sleek and modern. Good design is all about balance and the right choices for this component could be just the thing to leave your space feeling all evened out.
The Practical Side of Choosing a Coffee Table
It’s easy to get caught up in all of the exciting design choices offered for this table, and there is nothing wrong with having some fun with the design process. But also take a moment to stop and think about your coffee table choices from a practical perspective.
Specifically, you want to make sure the material you pick for the top is a fit for your intended use. Going to be placing this table in a high-traffic commercial setting? Consider going with a metal or solid surface top, as those options are not only ready to stand up to consistent use, but they are also easy to clean after they have been used. If you happen to need a coffee table for outdoor use, those same solid surface tops could be a good fit, or you could go with stainless steel for a modern look that would still hold up to the conditions.
