Have some artwork, antiques, or collectibles that you want to display? Then you need a display coffee table!
Any collector who wants to showcase his prize pieces should have a display piece that is an extension of his own personal style. Having a display coffee table makes this possible.
The tables are extremely elegant but at the same time very effective in exhibiting collectibles.
It can also be a personal style that fits in well with the décor of our homes.
There aren't to many other pieces of furniture that match a display table in terms of appeal or sheer beauty.

Finding The Right Base
The base for your display table can be made of almost any material.
Bases can be made of aluminum, oak , cherry, marble, iron, or teak.
And you want to choose the bases design, style, color, and size according to your own personal style. What is your current décor like? What kind of other home furnishings do you posses? You should choose a color and style that matches your current style.
The height and width of the table should be based on the height and width of the sofa or chair placed in front of the display coffee table.
Just make sure table matches the rest of your furniture. If you don't match then you have interrupted flow. And interrupted flow not only looks bad but it also distracts from the pieces you are trying to showcase in your display table.
This is a very important point you should remember when contemplating your display table's style.
Choosing The Right Design
There are many design options to choose from such as modern (trendy and hip), traditional (stable and elegant), or perhaps unique (specific shapes or even an aquarium).
Modern tables tend to be more colorful, lively and at sharper angles. Traditional tables tend to be made of hard woods or iron and be darker and more intricate in detail.
No matter the style the choice is up to you.
One particular part of the table will always remain the same though, no matter what design, style, and base you choose, and that is the glass top.
Make sure the glass top you choose is tempered glass. Tempered glass is much more dense and more durable. It won't shatter or break as easily as regular glass. This way it adds an extra layer of protection for your precious collectibles underneath.
So pick a design, style, size, shape, color, and base that best reflects your personal style and décor. Make sure it matches the other furnishings so that you have a uniform flow to your rooms. And finally, make sure your display coffee table has a tempered glass top so that your collectibles will be safe for years to come.
